Licensure Application Process

Idaho law requires the licensure of all persons who practice or offer to practice psychology in the State of Idaho. Licensure is available through both endorsement and examination.  All applicants must certify under oath that they have reviewed and will abide by the laws, rules, and ethics governing the practice of psychology.

In order to obtain a license to practice psychology in Idaho, a completed application must be submitted to the Board. Said application must include satisfactory documentation of:

            acceptable moral character;

            a doctoral degree from an accredited school;

            2 years of acceptable post-graduate experience;

            successful completion of the Examination for Professional Practice in Psychology (EPPP): and

            the required fees. 

Applicants are encouraged to review the Board laws and rules for specific requirements concerning education, experience, and practice.  

Licensure may also be obtained if you hold a current Certificate of Professional Qualification from ASPPB (see §54-2312, Idaho Code),  or if you meet the requirements as a Senior Psychologist (see §54-2312A, Idaho Code).

Idaho Licensed psychologists may also extend their services through the use of Service Extenders.
