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

Last verified: 2026-08-07 · source: Idaho Board of Psychologist Examiners (Division of Occupational and Professional Licenses) ↗

A psychology license transfers from New York to Idaho by endorsement — there is no automatic reciprocity, but you do not start over. Apply to the Idaho Board of Psychologist Examiners (Division of Occupational and Professional Licenses), verify your New York license, and meet Idaho's endorsement requirements. EPPP passing score transfers (not retaken) — IDAPA 24.12.01.100.01 requires applicants to pass the national EPPP, and the Board verifies an existing score rather than re-testing an already-licensed applicant. Idaho imposes no state jurisprudence exam: the psychologist rules contain none, and Idaho Code 67-9409(4) bars a licensing authority from establishing a jurisprudence examination for universal-licensure applicants..

Verdict

Licensure by endorsement

This direction has a payoff worth planning around. New York is outside PSYPACT, so you have had no compact authorizations to work with — but Idaho participates. Endorse into Idaho through the Idaho Board of Psychologist Examiners (Division of Occupational and Professional Licenses), make it your licensed home state, and that license becomes an anchor: from there an ASPPB E.Passport and APIT authorization let you serve clients across every other participating state without another full license. The endorsement itself is still an ordinary application — EPPP score accepted, credentials reviewed, Idaho's jurisprudence requirement applied — but what it unlocks afterwards is considerably more than a single state.
