Psychology License from New Hampshire to Indiana: Does It Transfer? (2026)
Last verified: 2026-08-07 · source: Indiana State Psychology Board (Indiana Professional Licensing Agency) ↗
A psychology license transfers from New Hampshire to Indiana by endorsement — there is no automatic reciprocity, but you do not start over. Apply to the Indiana State Psychology Board (Indiana Professional Licensing Agency), verify your New Hampshire license, and meet Indiana's endorsement requirements. EPPP passing score transfers (not retaken) — the Psychologist by Reciprocity checklist requires verification of the active out-of-state license rather than a new EPPP registration (the Board has not adopted EPPP Part 2). Every applicant for Indiana psychology licensure, with no exemptions, must pass the Indiana jurisprudence examination: 50 true-false and multiple-choice questions on Indiana psychology statutes and rules, 75% to pass, completed within 7 days of the Board emailing it..

Verdict
Licensure by endorsement
New Hampshire and Indiana both participate in PSYPACT, and it is worth being blunt about what that does and does not buy you, because the compact's name misleads a lot of psychologists. It does not transfer your license. Moving from New Hampshire to Indiana means applying to the Indiana State Psychology Board (Indiana Professional Licensing Agency) for licensure by endorsement exactly as you would if neither state had ever joined — license verification, doctoral transcript, supervised-experience review, Indiana's jurisprudence requirement. What the shared participation genuinely gives you is different and still valuable: while you remain licensed and resident in New Hampshire, you can serve Indiana clients by telepsychology under an APIT authorization, and work in person in Indiana for up to 30 days a year under a TAP. That can cover a transition period — it cannot cover the move.
What changes, New Hampshire → Indiana
| New Hampshire (current) | Indiana (destination) | |
|---|---|---|
| PSYPACT status | PSYPACT member — multistate license honored | PSYPACT member — multistate license honored |
| Application fee | $358 (Psychologist / Psychologist Tele-Pass application fee from the Board's published fee table, which includes the mandatory $28 Professional Health Program surcharge. The Board's older Psyc 303.03(b) out-of-state checklist still prints $300; the fee table is the newer figure. A temporary psychologist licence is $150. Criminal-background-check costs are the applicant's and are separate.) | $100 (Psychologist by Reciprocity application fee, nonrefundable, paid by credit or debit card. The HSPP endorsement is a separate $100 application, and the criminal background check is paid to the Board's vendor.) |
| Processing time | Neither the Board of Psychologists pages nor the out-of-state applicant checklist states a processing-time estimate for psychologist applications. | The Board publishes no processing-time estimate — it states only that it reviews an application on receipt of all requested documentation, and that an application not completed within one year of filing is abandoned. Null rather than a guess. |
| Licensing authority | New Hampshire Board of Psychologists (Office of Professional Licensure and Certification) | Indiana State Psychology Board (Indiana Professional Licensing Agency) |

New Hampshire and Indiana 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 Indiana (APIT) and in-person practice there for up to 30 days a year (TAP) while your license stays in New Hampshire. Relocating to Indiana requires licensure by endorsement from the Indiana State Psychology Board (Indiana Professional Licensing Agency) like any other applicant.
Can I start seeing Indiana clients before my Indiana license is issued?
While your New Hampshire license remains active and is your home-state license, a PSYPACT authorization can cover Indiana 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 New Hampshire stops being your licensed home state — they are a bridge during a transition, not a substitute for the Indiana license.
