(a) An applicant who provides documentation that the applicant has been actively licensed and in good standing as a psychologist in another jurisdiction for at least 5 consecutive years immediately preceding the filing of the application, must meet the following requirements, which are a substitute for Board rule §463.11:

  (1) The applicant must have already obtained provisional licensure and must document that the applicant is a provisionally licensed psychologist in good standing.

  (2) Supervised experience. The applicant must affirm that the applicant has received 3,000 hours of experience supervised by a psychologist licensed in the state where the supervision took place. At least half of these hours (1,500 hours) must have been completed after the doctoral degree was conferred or completed. The formal internship year may be met either before or after the doctoral degree was conferred or completed, as indicated on the official transcript.

  (3) The applicant must document that the applicant has not received any disciplinary action (apart from disciplinary action related to Continuing Education) by any other jurisdiction and that there is no pending action or complaint against the applicant in any other jurisdiction.

(b) Licensees holding the Certification of Professional Qualification in Psychology (CPQ) Credential granted by the Association of State and Provincial Psychology Boards (ASPPB). An out-of-state licensee holding a CPQ credential granted by the ASPPB meets the requirements of Board rule §463.11. In addition, out-of-state licensees who hold a CPQ credential must meet requirements (a)(1) and (a)(3) listed above. The Board reserves the right to accept or reject licensure for persons holding the CPQ credential.
