Psychology License from Georgia to Colorado: Does It Transfer? (2026)

A psychology license transfers from Georgia to Colorado by endorsement — there is no automatic reciprocity, but you do not start over. Apply to the Colorado State Board of Psychologist Examiners (Department of Regulatory Agencies, Division of Professions and Occupations), verify your Georgia license, and meet Colorado's endorsement requirements. 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.

No — the EPPP is passed once and your score is verified rather than retaken.

No. PSYPACT never transfers a license, including between two participating states. It authorizes telepsychology into Colorado (APIT) and in-person practice there for up to 30 days a year (TAP) while your license stays in Georgia. Relocating to Colorado requires licensure by endorsement from the Colorado State Board of Psychologist Examiners (Department of Regulatory Agencies, Division of Professions and Occupations) like any other applicant.

While your Georgia license remains active and is your home-state license, a PSYPACT authorization can cover Colorado clients by telepsychology, and a TAP covers up to 30 days a year of in-person work there. Those are the compact's limits, and they end when Georgia stops being your licensed home state — they are a bridge during a transition, not a substitute for the Colorado license.
