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

To practice in Nebraska you need a Nebraska license, obtained by endorsement through the Nebraska Board of Psychology (DHHS Division of Public Health, Licensure Unit): license verification, doctoral transcript, supervised-experience review, and your EPPP score accepted as already passed ($45.75–$183 (The license fee is prorated by issuance month against the 01/01 odd-year expiration: $183 in any month of an odd-numbered year or January–June of an even-numbered year, $45.75 July–December of an even-numbered year. A temporary license (valid up to 1 year pending the jurisprudence exam) is a separate $50. Nebraska State Patrol fingerprint fees are separate. The initial license fee is waived entirely for applicants under 26, low-income applicants, and military-connected applicants.), processing 1–2 weeks (Applications are reviewed in date order received; the Department states applicants receive an e-mail within approximately 10 days advising either that the license has been issued or that the application is incomplete. Converted from the Department's 'approximately 10 days' statement.)). Nebraska 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 Nebraska, and a move here still runs through endorsement.

No. EPPP passing score transfers (not retaken) — submit the official Professional Examination Service score report or official verification from the board that administered it; a minimum scaled score of 500 applies, and the EPPP is waived outright for ABPP diplomates. Every applicant, including reciprocity applicants, must still pass the open-book Nebraska jurisprudence examination with a minimum score of 80%.

Yes — Nebraska was participating as of 2026-08-07. That lets a psychologist licensed in another participating state provide telepsychology to Nebraska clients under an APIT authorization, and work in person in Nebraska for up to 30 days a year under a TAP. It does not license you in Nebraska: relocating still requires endorsement through the Nebraska Board of Psychology (DHHS Division of Public Health, Licensure Unit).

Only within the compact's limits, and only if you are not moving. Telepsychology into Nebraska 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 Nebraska — you need a Nebraska license by endorsement.
