The Indiana State Psychology Board licenses psychologists in Indiana. Indiana is a PSYPACT® participating jurisdiction. That means an Indiana license can serve as your declared PSYPACT® home state, and psychologists licensed elsewhere in the compact can already deliver telepsychology to clients located here. Indiana offers a licensure-by-endorsement route for psychologists already licensed elsewhere.
Indiana Psychology License Requirements
A doctoral degree in psychology, with official transcripts sent to the board directly by the institution.
Supervised professional experience as Indiana State Psychology Board defines it. Definitions of qualifying supervision differ between boards — confirm how your hours will be counted before filing.
A passing EPPP score, transferred officially from ASPPB. Note that individual boards set their own passing scores, so a score accepted elsewhere does not automatically satisfy this one.
Licensure by endorsement: Indiana licenses by endorsement on proof of your current out-of-state license, doctoral degree, and EPPP scores, with a $100 application fee and a background check. Indiana separately endorses the Health Service Provider in Psychology (HSPP) designation, which requires 1,600 hours of supervised professional experience beyond the 1,500-hour doctoral internship, including at least 900 hours of direct patient care over twelve months.
Licensure by endorsement — current out-of-state license, doctoral degree, EPPP scores.
HSPP endorsement — a separate application and fee, with its own supervised-hours requirement. Most clinical roles in Indiana expect it.
The Indiana jurisprudence examination. Indiana's jurisprudence examination has historically been 50 true/false and multiple-choice questions with a 75% pass mark, and the fee schedule still carries a retake fee. Published sources disagree about whether it remains required for every applicant — confirm your position with the Licensing Agency before scheduling anything around it.
Fingerprint-based criminal background check.
Disclosure and verification of any disciplinary action in any jurisdiction.
How Much Does an Indiana Psychology License Cost?
| Fee | Amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Application for licensure | $100 | Paid to the Indiana Professional Licensing Agency. Verify the current amount before filing. |
| Application for HSPP endorsement | $100 | A separate application and fee from the psychology license itself. |
| Jurisprudence examination retake | $75 | Charged per repeat attempt. |
| EPPP or score transfer | $0 | Charged by ASPPB, not by the state. ASPPB has signalled an additional skills component alongside the existing knowledge examination — confirm the current structure and cost with ASPPB rather than budgeting from an older figure. |
| Licensure verification from each prior jurisdiction | $0 | Charged by each issuing board. Every board that has ever licensed you must send one, including lapsed licenses. Amounts vary by state. |
| Fingerprint / background check | $0 | Vendor-dependent. Verify with Indiana State Psychology Board before scheduling — out-of-order submissions are typically not refunded. |

Typical Processing
Three to six months from a complete filing is a common range, and complex files run longer. The board cannot begin substantive review until out-of-state verifications and official transcripts have arrived.
Recommended Lead Time
Start at least six months before you need to practise in Indiana.
Published processing targets rarely survive contact with a file that has a documentation gap in it. The controllable part is the front end — pathway determination, transcripts requested with correct routing, and verifications ordered from every board that has ever licensed you. Confirm current targets directly with Indiana State Psychology Board.
Where Indiana Applications Get Delayed
HSPP is a separate credential, and most clinical roles want it. An Indiana psychology license alone does not confer Health Service Provider in Psychology status. HSPP carries its own application, its own fee, and its own supervised-hours requirement — 1,600 hours beyond the doctoral internship, with at least 900 in direct patient care over twelve months. Establish whether your role requires it before you file, not after.
Confirm the jurisprudence requirement directly. Published sources conflict on whether Indiana still requires the jurisprudence examination of all applicants. The Licensing Agency is the only authority worth relying on here.
Assuming PSYPACT® replaces the Indiana license. An APIT® lets a psychologist licensed elsewhere in the compact deliver telepsychology to clients in Indiana. It does not authorize in-person practice here, and it is not an Indiana license.
Forgetting a lapsed license. Verification is required from every jurisdiction that has ever licensed you, including licenses you let expire years ago. An omission stalls the file and raises a candour question that is far more troublesome than the verification would have been.
Transcripts sent by the applicant. Boards and ASPPB alike require official transcripts sent directly by the institution or its clearinghouse. A sealed envelope you forward is not accepted, and the failure is silent — you believe it is delivered while the file waits.
Assuming another state's supervised-hours count transfers. Definitions of qualifying supervision differ meaningfully between boards. Hours that satisfied your original licensure may be counted differently here.
Renewing Your Indiana Psychology License
Renewal Cycle
Verify your renewal cycle and expiration date with Indiana State Psychology Board. Renewal cycles vary between annual and biennial, and some states renew the whole profession on a fixed date rather than on each licensee's anniversary.
CE Requirement
Indiana requires continuing education on the renewal cycle, and most states mandate specific content areas. Verify the current hour count and required topics with Indiana State Psychology Board — mandated subject lists change more often than the hour totals do. If you also hold an ASPPB E.Passport, its three hours of telepsychology-specific CE are a separate requirement on a separate cycle and do not satisfy state CE.
Late Grace Period
Practising on a lapsed Indiana license is not authorized regardless of how briefly it lapsed. Verify the delinquency and reinstatement procedure with Indiana State Psychology Board.
How Indiana Licenses Psychologists
The Indiana State Psychology Board licenses psychologists in Indiana. As in every state, licensure rests on a doctoral degree in psychology, supervised professional experience, and examination — but the specifics differ more than psychologists expect, particularly in how supervised hours are defined and whether a state-specific jurisprudence examination applies.
Licensure by Endorsement
Indiana licenses by endorsement on proof of your current out-of-state license, doctoral degree, and EPPP scores, with a $100 application fee and a background check. Indiana separately endorses the Health Service Provider in Psychology (HSPP) designation, which requires 1,600 hours of supervised professional experience beyond the 1,500-hour doctoral internship, including at least 900 hours of direct patient care over twelve months.
Routes worth checking before you file:
- Licensure by endorsement — current out-of-state license, doctoral degree, EPPP scores.
- HSPP endorsement — a separate application and fee, with its own supervised-hours requirement. Most clinical roles in Indiana expect it.
One general caution: endorsement is not a transfer. The board still evaluates whether your education, supervised experience, examination, and professional history are equivalent to its own standards, and it can conclude that they are not. Older training histories and non-standard program structures draw the most scrutiny.
The Jurisprudence Examination
Indiana requires a state jurisprudence examination. Indiana's jurisprudence examination has historically been 50 true/false and multiple-choice questions with a 75% pass mark, and the fee schedule still carries a retake fee. Published sources disagree about whether it remains required for every applicant — confirm your position with the Licensing Agency before scheduling anything around it. Endorsement does not generally exempt applicants from it — a state-law examination is precisely the thing another state's license cannot evidence.
PSYPACT® and Indiana
Indiana is a participating jurisdiction, which is useful in both directions.
If you hold an Indiana license, Indiana can serve as your declared PSYPACT® home state. With an ASPPB E.Passport and an Authority to Practice Interjurisdictional Telepsychology (APIT®) on top of it, your telepsychology practice reaches every other participating jurisdiction without a separate license in each.
If you are licensed elsewhere in the compact, your APIT® already authorizes telepsychology to clients located in Indiana — no Indiana license needed for that work. It does not authorize in-person practice here. For temporary in-person work that is the separate IPC and TAP® route, capped at 30 calendar days per calendar year.
One constraint matters more than it first appears: under the APIT® you must be physically located in your declared home state while delivering telepsychology. A Indiana license held by someone who lives elsewhere does not make Indiana a workable home state. Choose the state you actually sit in.
What We Handle
Pathway determination before you spend a non-refundable fee, transcript and EPPP score routing, verification requests to every jurisdiction that has ever licensed you, jurisprudence examination scheduling, fingerprint sequencing, and Indiana State Psychology Board correspondence through to issuance. Where Indiana is your intended PSYPACT® home state, we file the E.Passport and APIT® on top of it.
