If you are already an FSMTA member, you will have a username and password. DO NOT create a new MyFSMTA Account! This will create a duplicate record for you. Your username is by default your email address. The computer automatically assigns you a password, so the first time you log on, you will need to click the Don't Know Your Password? Just Click Here link, enter your email address and your password will automatically be emailed to you. If for any reason your email address is NOT in our database, then you will be prompted to call us and we will give you that information over the phone. Once you log in the first time, you will be able to change your username and password so that it's easy for you to remember.

NEW Opportunity for FSMTA Members

Recently, the FSMTA Executive Board approved having American General Life and Accident Insurance Company offer their services to members like you!
 
This voluntary program enables you to purchase life, accident, critical illness, disability, and cancer insurance plans at premiums that are best suited to your needs. Your personal agent can also help you plan for retirement and other lifetime goals.
 
An American General representative will contact you in the near future to explain this exciting new opportunity . More news as this reality comes near!

FSMTA FYI - Does the BOMT have your correct address Renewal Information for the Board of Massage Therapy?

A notice for renewal is mailed to each licensee at the last address provided to the Board. Failure to receive this notification does not relieve the licensee of the responsibility of meeting the renewal or continuing education requirements.

Q: Can I fax my change of address to you or may I leave my change of address on your voice mail or can you take a change of address over the telephone?

A: Because of recent changes in Florida law, you now have the option of submitting your change of address using our _electronic change of address form_ (http://www.doh.state.fl.us/mqa/chng_address.htm) or you may write a letter requesting the change that includes the type of address to be changed and faxing it to (850) 487-9626. You will need your current license number and the control number from the license for security reasons. Remember a change of location for a massage establishment requires the completion of an application and submission of the appropriate fees.
