The New Hampshire Board of Psychologists licenses psychologists in New Hampshire. New Hampshire is a PSYPACT® participating jurisdiction. That means a New Hampshire license can serve as your declared PSYPACT® home state, and psychologists licensed elsewhere in the compact can already deliver telepsychology to clients located here. Confirm the available pathway with New Hampshire Board of Psychologists before filing.
New Hampshire Psychology License Requirements
A doctoral degree in psychology, with official transcripts sent to the board directly by the institution.
Supervised professional experience: 3,000 hours of supervised professional experience, split evenly — 1,500 pre-doctoral and 1,500 post-doctoral.
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.
An active license in another jurisdiction, verified directly by that board, if you are applying as an out-of-state psychologist. Confirm with New Hampshire Board of Psychologists whether an endorsement route is available to you and what it requires.
Fingerprint-based criminal background check.
Disclosure and verification of any disciplinary action in any jurisdiction.
Completion of New Hampshire's state essay requirement, which is distinct from the EPPP and from any multiple-choice jurisprudence test.
How Much Does an New Hampshire Psychology License Cost?
| Fee | Amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Application | $316 | Verify the current amount with the Board before filing. |
| 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 New Hampshire Board of Psychologists before scheduling — out-of-order submissions are typically not refunded. |
Fees above are paid to New Hampshire and ASPPB. Our service fee is separate — see pricing.
We handle the New Hampshire application end-to-end.
Eligibility screening, document prep, board follow-ups, and tracking — so you don't lose a board meeting cycle to a missing form.

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 New Hampshire.
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 New Hampshire Board of Psychologists.
Where New Hampshire Applications Get Delayed
The state essay is a real deliverable. New Hampshire asks for a written essay component alongside the standard application. It is not a form field, and applicants who discover it late find it sitting between them and a start date.
The 3,000 hours split evenly. New Hampshire wants 1,500 pre-doctoral and 1,500 post-doctoral. A total that satisfies another state may fail the split.
Assuming PSYPACT® replaces the New Hampshire license. An APIT® lets a psychologist licensed elsewhere in the compact deliver telepsychology to clients in New Hampshire. It does not authorize in-person practice here, and it is not a New Hampshire 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 New Hampshire Psychology License
Renewal Cycle
Verify your renewal cycle and expiration date with New Hampshire Board of Psychologists. 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
New Hampshire requires 20 hours of continuing education every two years. Verify the current requirement and any mandated content areas with the Board. If you also hold an ASPPB E.Passport, its three hours of telepsychology-specific CE are separate and do not count toward this.
Late Grace Period
Practising on a lapsed New Hampshire license is not authorized regardless of how briefly it lapsed. Verify the delinquency and reinstatement procedure with New Hampshire Board of Psychologists.
How New Hampshire Licenses Psychologists
The New Hampshire Board of Psychologists licenses psychologists in New Hampshire. 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.
Applying From Out of State
Confirm with New Hampshire Board of Psychologists which pathway applies to you before filing. Where a state has no formal endorsement route, an out-of-state psychologist applies through the standard process, and the practical difference is in which evidence the board will accept rather than whether an application is required.
PSYPACT® and New Hampshire
New Hampshire is a participating jurisdiction, which is useful in both directions.
If you hold a New Hampshire license, New Hampshire 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 New Hampshire — no New Hampshire 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 New Hampshire license held by someone who lives elsewhere does not make New Hampshire 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, fingerprint sequencing, and New Hampshire Board of Psychologists correspondence through to issuance. Where New Hampshire is your intended PSYPACT® home state, we file the E.Passport and APIT® on top of it.
