Psychology License from Vermont to New Hampshire: Does It Transfer? (2026)

A psychology license transfers from Vermont to New Hampshire by endorsement — there is no automatic reciprocity, but you do not start over. Apply to the New Hampshire Board of Psychologists (Office of Professional Licensure and Certification), verify your Vermont license, and meet New Hampshire's endorsement requirements. EPPP passing score transfers (not retaken) — filed as an Official EPPP Score Verification, and Psyc 303.03(b) applicants may instead have ASPPB submit a completed PLUS packet on their behalf. New Hampshire's Psychologist Jurisprudence Examination was still listed as pending enactment by the Board in the OPLC examination-services notice effective 12 May 2025, and the Board's out-of-state checklist for credentialed applicants does not require the essay examination that standard initial applicants take.

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

$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.)

No. PSYPACT never transfers a license, including between two participating states. It authorizes telepsychology into New Hampshire (APIT) and in-person practice there for up to 30 days a year (TAP) while your license stays in Vermont. Relocating to New Hampshire requires licensure by endorsement from the New Hampshire Board of Psychologists (Office of Professional Licensure and Certification) like any other applicant.

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