Psychology License from Maryland to Wisconsin: Does It Transfer? (2026)

A psychology license transfers from Maryland to Wisconsin by endorsement — there is no automatic reciprocity, but you do not start over. Apply to the Wisconsin Psychology Examining Board (Department of Safety and Professional Services), verify your Maryland license, and meet Wisconsin's endorsement requirements. EPPP passing score transfers (not retaken) — an applicant who sat the EPPP Part 1 in another jurisdiction requests an official ASPPB score transfer report sent directly to DSPS; the Wisconsin Jurisprudence Examination, a computer-based test on Wisconsin statutes and administrative code requiring a score of 80% to pass, is still required of reciprocity applicants.

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

DSPS does not publish the initial psychologist credential fee on the profession page or in its Renewal Dates and Fees schedule — the application fee is calculated and paid in the LicensE portal, so no verified amount could be recorded. Verified adjacent figures: biennial renewal $66 (with late fee $91), and an additional $266 fee if the Examining Board requires the applicant to appear before it prior to licensure.

No. PSYPACT never transfers a license, including between two participating states. It authorizes telepsychology into Wisconsin (APIT) and in-person practice there for up to 30 days a year (TAP) while your license stays in Maryland. Relocating to Wisconsin requires licensure by endorsement from the Wisconsin Psychology Examining Board (Department of Safety and Professional Services) like any other applicant.

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