I am certified by the American Board of Professional Psychology (ABPP). What do I need to do to apply for a California license as a psychologist?
Persons who are certified by the ABPP and have been licensed for a minimum of five years in another State, Canadian Province or U.S. territory can apply for California licensure. Applicants must submit an application for licensure, fingerprints, all applicable fees, official license certification from the licensing State Board, and an official certification from ABPP. State License certification and ABPP certification must be sent directly to the Board by the respective agencies. Once all pertinent information is received, the applicant will be scheduled to sit for the California Psychology Laws and Ethics Examination. (CPLEE). The EPPP and the CPSE are waived. In addition to the application for license, the applicant must submit documentation that he or she has taken the applicable courses described in questions 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 above.
