What is New York Credentials Verification Application?

The New York Credentials Verification service is a verification of the authenticity of an applicant’s physical therapist or physical therapist assistant educational and licensure records. Verification from a New York State Education Department (NYSED) approved Credentials Verification Organization (CVO) is required by NYSED when an applicant is seeking licensure in New York. FCCPT is an approved CVO for both professions. Upon collection of all required documents FCCPT will submit all education and licensure documentation to NYSED. This service does not include collection of documents from U.S. education or licensure institutions. The applicant must contact NYSED for instructions on sending these documents.
