The Alabama Board of Massage Therapy requires that all applicants pay a $25.00 license application request form fee. Licensed Massage Therapists in Alabama must complete an approved massage course with a minimum of 650 hours. Additionally, all Massage Therapist applicants must be certified by the National Certification Exam for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork (BCTMB), and Personal Liability (1,000,000 coverage) is required. The MBLEx (Massage & Bodywork Licensing Examination) is governed by the Federation of State Massage Therapy Boards FSMTB). The federation will send proof of passing the MBLEx to the address listed below when AL is listed as the state of licensure during the application process.

The NCBTMB certification that is required by AL Massage Board has been changed to the BCTMB, which is the NCBTMB's Advance Certification. This BCTMB can only be obtained 6 months after you are licensed and have checked off a list of requirements as well as another exam. Hopefully the requirement list from the AL Board is being revised.
