What podiatrists miss in New York
- From June 12, 2027 the scope statute changes: non-surgical diagnosis and treatment of the ankle joins the base license, while ankle surgery still needs a privilege.
- An ankle privilege lasts for life unless revoked, but must be registered with the license.
- NYSED's page still tells applicants to contact FPMB about scores; scores now come through Meazure Learning.
Can a podiatrist licensed elsewhere get a New York license by endorsement?
NYSED: endorsement, often called reciprocity, is not available for podiatry. Podiatrists licensed elsewhere file the full application (Form 1), the fee, verification of other licenses (Form 3) and certification of education (Form 2), and must meet the Parts I to III and residency requirements.

Licensing in New York?
New York does not endorse an out-of-state license, so a podiatrist licensed elsewhere files the full application. We prepare every supporting document and a question-by-question guide, request the FPMB disciplinary report, CPME residency verification and other boards' verifications, and track the file to a decision; you sign every oath and sit every exam. A license by endorsement is $799 per state, or $899 for a full application.
