Transfer Your Psychology License to Colorado: Reciprocity & Endorsement (2026)

Colorado licenses out-of-state psychologists by endorsement rather than by any automatic exchange. The Colorado State Board of Psychologist Examiners (Department of Regulatory Agencies, Division of Professions and Occupations) reviews your credentials and accepts your existing EPPP passing score; budget Not verifiable from a primary source. DORA/DPO does not publish a psychologist endorsement application fee on any public page — the Psychology Applications page states only that fees are shown on the respective application, and the endorsement application itself is filed inside the DPO Online Services portal behind a login. No fee amount is asserted here rather than guessed and No board-stated range. DORA/DPO publishes no processing time for psychologist licensure by endorsement; the only related timing note on the Psychology Applications page is that a license issued within 120 days of the upcoming renewal expiration is given the next expiration date for processing. Colorado participates in PSYPACT, but that only covers telepsychology and up to 30 days a year of temporary in-person work — it does not license you in Colorado, and a move here still runs through endorsement.

No. EPPP passing score transfers (not retaken) — Board Rule 1.12(C) lets the applicant attest to a written competence examination required and passed in any jurisdiction, including one other than the state the applicant is endorsing from; if no written exam was required when the applicant was first licensed, the Board accepts 20 years of independent doctoral-level practice in an ASPPB jurisdiction instead. Every endorsement applicant must pass the Board-developed Colorado Mental Health Jurisprudence Examination — Rule 1.12(D) applies it with no exemptions.

Yes — Colorado was participating as of 2026-08-07. That lets a psychologist licensed in another participating state provide telepsychology to Colorado clients under an APIT authorization, and work in person in Colorado for up to 30 days a year under a TAP. It does not license you in Colorado: relocating still requires endorsement through the Colorado State Board of Psychologist Examiners (Department of Regulatory Agencies, Division of Professions and Occupations).

Only within the compact's limits, and only if you are not moving. Telepsychology into Colorado is covered by APIT; in-person work is capped at 30 days per calendar year under a TAP. Beyond that — and for any relocation to Colorado — you need a Colorado license by endorsement.
