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

A psychology license transfers from Idaho to Georgia by endorsement — there is no automatic reciprocity, but you do not start over. Apply to the Georgia State Board of Examiners of Psychologists (Secretary of State, Professional Licensing Boards Division), verify your Idaho license, and meet Georgia's endorsement requirements. EPPP passing score transfers (not retaken) but must equal or exceed the ASPPB standard passing score, and endorsement applicants licensed on or after 1 November 2020 must also have passed EPPP Part 2 (Skills). Georgia additionally requires its own Jurisprudence (Laws & Rules) examination AND a Board oral examination based on a recent work sample — both apply even to CPQ holders and to senior psychologists licensed 10+ years.

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 Georgia (APIT) and in-person practice there for up to 30 days a year (TAP) while your license stays in Idaho. Relocating to Georgia requires licensure by endorsement from the Georgia State Board of Examiners of Psychologists (Secretary of State, Professional Licensing Boards Division) like any other applicant.

While your Idaho license remains active and is your home-state license, a PSYPACT authorization can cover Georgia 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 Idaho stops being your licensed home state — they are a bridge during a transition, not a substitute for the Georgia license.
