Resource Center
The FSMTB wants to ensure that consumers of massage and bodywork services have adequate knowledge about what they can expect from a massage and bodywork practitioner.

FSMTB® transfers exam results to support massage therapists applying for a license to practice. To ensure MBLEx® candidates are in control of their private and confidential MBLEx results, FSMTB will transfer examination results only to massage therapy regulatory boards/agencies (official result) OR the MBLEx candidate (unofficial result).

The FSMTB will resend an exam result to the same jurisdiction at no additional cost for up to three months from the original send date. After three months, resending to the same jurisdiction will require another completed Result Transfer Form and the applicable fee.

RTFs should be submitted online via the candidate’s FSMTB Exam Account and incur a fee of $40. RTF application fees are nonrefundable and nontransferable.

Please follow these simple instructions to request a transfer:
