For doctoral-level psychologists who want to practise across state lines — the E.Passport and APIT®, temporary in-person authorization, and state licensure in the jurisdictions the compact doesn't reach.
We handle your paperwork, follow-ups, and deadlines so you can focus on patients—not bureaucracy.
Licensed only in California, New York, Oregon, or Massachusetts? PSYPACT® can't reach you yet — here's what does →
We start with a quick intake call to map where you are licensed, where you want to practise, and which route actually gets you there. The critical question is whether you already hold a doctoral-level license in a PSYPACT® participating state — if you don't, the compact cannot help you yet, and we tell you that on the call rather than after you've spent a non-refundable application fee. We also check your education pathway, EPPP score, and disciplinary history against ASPPB's current standards, because those are what stall applications.
We prepare the E.Passport or IPC filing in PSY|PRO, request official transcripts directly from your university to ASPPB (an applicant-sent transcript is not accepted), assemble licensure verifications, and file the APIT® or TAP® application with the PSYPACT® Commission once the underlying credential clears. Where a state license is the real requirement, we run the endorsement application with that board instead — including the ASPPB Credentials Bank or CPQ route where it shortens the path.
Authorization is not a one-and-done. The E.Passport renews annually and requires at least three hours of telepsychology-specific continuing education; if it lapses, your APIT® suspends and your cross-state authority stops that day. We track every renewal date, the CE requirement, home-state changes, and new license additions — which carry their own 30-day notification deadline — so nothing quietly expires underneath you.
Participation is what matters — a bill that has been introduced, or even enacted but not yet effective, authorizes nothing. Pick a jurisdiction to see exactly where it stands and what it takes to practise there.
Doctoral-level psychologists — PhD, PsyD, and EdD. That is who PSYPACT® covers, and it is who we are built for. We handle the E.Passport and APIT®, the IPC and TAP®, and full state licensure by endorsement in every jurisdiction including the ones PSYPACT® does not reach. If you are a psychiatric nurse practitioner, our APRN team handles that at whitegloveaprn.com; if you are a psychiatrist, physician licensing lives at whitegloveimlc.com.
Three different things, issued by two different organizations, and the order matters. PSYPACT® is the interstate compact itself — the agreement among participating states. The E.Passport is a credential issued by ASPPB that certifies you meet the education, examination, and discipline standards. The APIT® (Authority to Practice Interjurisdictional Telepsychology) is the authorization issued by the PSYPACT® Commission on top of a valid E.Passport, and it is what actually lets you deliver telepsychology into other participating states. You need the E.Passport first; the APIT® cannot issue without it, and it suspends the moment the E.Passport lapses.
Not directly — and this is the single most common misunderstanding we see. The E.Passport requires an active, unrestricted doctoral-level psychology license in at least one participating state, and the APIT® requires you to be physically located in your declared home state while you deliver telepsychology. If every license you hold is in a non-participating jurisdiction, PSYPACT® gives you nothing until you obtain a license in a participating state first. That is a full licensure-by-endorsement engagement, and it is the service most of our clients in these states actually need. We scope it during intake.
It lets you deliver telepsychology into any participating jurisdiction, from your home state, without holding a separate license in each one. It does not give you permanent in-person practice rights anywhere, it does not let you practice while physically located outside your home state, it does not carry prescriptive authority across state lines even if your home state grants it, and it does not cover master's-level clinicians. For temporary in-person work you need the separate IPC and TAP® route, which is capped at 30 days per calendar year per state.
No, and this catches people badly. PSYPACT® settles the legal authority to treat; it does not settle getting paid. CMS will enroll psychologists who satisfy compact requirements, but commercial payer contracts are per-state and per-payer — being in-network with a Blue Cross plan in one state does nothing for a patient in another. You also need your CAQH telehealth section completed and the right modifiers and place-of-service codes on claims, or you get denials and, worse, clawbacks years later. Multi-state payer enrollment is handled by our sister team at whiteglovecredentialing.com.
Two layers. The third-party fees are fixed and go to ASPPB and the Commission: roughly $440 to obtain the E.Passport and APIT® initially, and about $140 a year to keep them. The IPC and TAP® route runs about $240 initially and $90 annually. Our concierge fee sits on top of that and is listed on our pricing page. Fees are set by ASPPB and the Commission and change from time to time — we confirm the current schedule at intake rather than quoting from memory.
The E.Passport review runs about two to three weeks once ASPPB has everything, and the APIT® follows shortly after. The delays are almost never the review itself — they are transcripts that have to travel from your university directly to ASPPB, an EPPP score that needs retrieving, or an education pathway that needs documenting. Full state licensure by endorsement is a different animal: four to six months is common, and some boards run longer.
Education pathway is the big one. ASPPB recognizes several routes, but they hinge on your program being APA- or CPA-accredited (or designated) at the time your degree was conferred or within eighteen months of it — psychologists from older or non-accredited programs frequently need an alternate pathway documented rather than assumed. After that: EPPP scores below the ASPPB recommended cut, transcripts sent by the applicant instead of the institution, and any disciplinary history on any license in any state. We screen all of this before you pay an application fee, because the fees are non-refundable.
Your APIT® is suspended and your authority to practice across state lines stops that day — not at the end of a grace period. Renewal is annual, requires at least three hours of continuing education specifically related to telepsychology, and the review itself takes three to four weeks with a share of applications pulled for audit. Practising after lapse exposes you to board complaints and payer clawbacks. Our renewal service exists because this deadline is easy to miss and expensive to miss.
No. Under the compact you practice within the receiving state's scope, so prescriptive authority does not travel with you even if your home state grants it. Nine jurisdictions authorize prescribing psychologists, each with its own MSCP and supervised-practice requirements, and prescribing there also means federal DEA registration and, in most, a state controlled-substance registration. We handle those filings as a separate service.
Very little. We prepare the filings, chase the transcripts, answer ASPPB and Commission correspondence, and track every deadline. What we cannot do for you is sign attestations or sit an exam — those are personal to the licensee. You check your email; we do the rest.
Both are available. Getting authorized is a one-time engagement. Staying authorized is not — annual E.Passport and APIT® renewals, the telepsychology CE requirement, home-state changes, and new license additions all have notification deadlines. Most clients keep us on for renewal management once they see how hard the cliff is.
White Glove PSYPACT exists to take the stress, confusion, and delays out of cross-state practice for psychologists. Our team specializes in concierge-level support for doctoral-level psychologists — the ASPPB E.Passport and the Authority to Practice Interjurisdictional Telepsychology (APIT®), the Interjurisdictional Practice Certificate and Temporary Authorization to Practice (TAP®), and full state licensure by endorsement.
We spend as much time on the jurisdictions PSYPACT® does not reach as the ones it does. A psychologist licensed only in California, New York, Oregon, or Massachusetts cannot use the compact at all until they hold a license in a participating state — that groundwork is often the whole engagement, and it is the part most people discover too late.
From intake to approval, we manage every detail — eligibility screening before you spend a non-refundable fee, transcripts chased from the registrar, board and Commission correspondence, and the annual renewal deadlines that quietly suspend your authority if you miss them. If you need licensing done right the first time, we're your partner.
Licensing delays have real costs — a start date missed, a caseload that cannot open, a payer contract that stalls behind a credential.
"Cross-state practice looks simple from the outside: file a form, get an authorization. In practice it is a chain of dependencies — a transcript that has to travel from a registrar to ASPPB, an education pathway that has to be documented rather than assumed, a home-state license you may not realize you need until you are told you are ineligible. Any one of them can cost a psychologist a quarter. We built White Glove PSYPACT to hold that whole chain so clinicians do not have to."
