Psychology License from Indiana to Missouri: Does It Transfer? (2026)

Last verified: 2026-08-07 · source: Missouri State Committee of Psychologists (Division of Professional Registration) ↗

A psychology license transfers from Indiana to Missouri by endorsement — there is no automatic reciprocity, but you do not start over. Apply to the Missouri State Committee of Psychologists (Division of Professional Registration), verify your Indiana license, and meet Missouri's endorsement requirements. EPPP passing score transfers (not retaken). Reciprocity applicants (licensed 5 or more years) request an ASPPB score transfer only if their license verifications do not already carry the EPPP score, and then sit for the Missouri jurisprudence exam alone; Endorsement of Score applicants (licensed under 5 years) must request an ASPPB EPPP score transfer and sit for both the jurisprudence and the oral exam.

Verdict

Licensure by endorsement

Both Indiana and Missouri are PSYPACT participants, which helps you right up until you actually relocate. As long as Indiana remains your licensed home state, the compact lets you treat Missouri clients by telehealth (APIT) and work in Missouri in person for up to 30 days per calendar year (TAP). None of that makes you licensed in Missouri. A permanent move puts you in front of the Missouri State Committee of Psychologists (Division of Professional Registration) for endorsement — your EPPP score carries over rather than being retaken, but the degree, supervised experience, jurisprudence exam, and background check are all reviewed on Missouri's terms.

Reciprocity applicants (licensed 5 or more years) request an ASPPB score transfer only if their license verifications do not already carry the EPPP score, and then sit for the Missouri jurisprudence exam alone; Endorsement of Score applicants (licensed under 5 years) must request an ASPPB EPPP score transfer and sit for both the jurisprudence and the oral exam.

Indiana and Missouri are both PSYPACT states — doesn't my license transfer automatically?

No. PSYPACT never transfers a license, including between two participating states. It authorizes telepsychology into Missouri (APIT) and in-person practice there for up to 30 days a year (TAP) while your license stays in Indiana. Relocating to Missouri requires licensure by endorsement from the Missouri State Committee of Psychologists (Division of Professional Registration) like any other applicant.

Can I start seeing Missouri clients before my Missouri license is issued?

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