The **Psychological Interjurisdictional Compact (PSYPACT)** is an interstate agreement created by the Association of State and Provincial Psychology Boards (ASPPB) to allow licensed psychologists to provide telepsychology and temporary in-person services across state lines — without having to obtain multiple licenses. **Initially approved in 2015**, PSYPACT **became operational in 2019** and continues to expand, enabling greater access to care and professional mobility.

**✅ What PSYPACT Allows**

Licensed psychologists in PSYPACT-participating states can:

- Provide telepsychology across state lines with an E.Passport and Authority to Practice Interjurisdictional Telepsychology (APIT)
- Offer temporary in-person, face-to-face services (up to 30 workdays per year per state) with an Interjurisdictional Practice Certificate (IPC)

These credentials streamline practice across jurisdictions while maintaining accountability, professional standards, and public protection.

**🟢 E.Passport Requirements (Telepsychology)**

To apply for the E.Passport, psychologists must meet the following:

- Hold a current, active license in at least one PSYPACT-participating state
- Have a doctoral degree in psychology from:
- An APA or CPA accredited program, or
- A program designated by ASPPB/NRHSP, or
- A NACES-recognized foreign credential evaluation service

- Pass the EPPP (Examination for Professional Practice in Psychology) with a qualifying score
- Submit graduate transcripts directly from the institution to ASPPB
- Have no disciplinary actions on any psychology license

**🔁 Renewal Requirements**

- Renew annually
- Submit:
- Proof of current active licensure in a PSYPACT state
- Renewal fee
- 3 hours of CE related to the use of technology in psychology (CE may include academic coursework or approved sponsor CE)

**🟡 IPC Requirements (Temporary In-Person Practice)**

Psychologists who wish to provide up to 30 days/year of in-person services in a PSYPACT state where they are not licensed must:

- Hold an active license in an ASPPB jurisdiction
- Apply for and obtain the IPC
- Notify the PSYPACT Commission before beginning services in another state
- Renew the IPC annually

**🌎 Current PSYPACT Member States**

As of May 2025, over 40 states, along with the District of Columbia and select territories, are active PSYPACT participants.

## Testimonials

I completed the Telehealth Training. This training was very effective for me because it was self-paced. I was able to work at my own pace to fully grasp the information. In addition, the various graphics and explanations made retaining the information better for my learning style. I also enjoyed the small quizzes at the end that helped increase my understanding and application of the information. I will definitely recommend this course to other clinicians!
