Universal Recognition

On August 27, 2019, the Arizona Board of Psychologist Examiners began accepting applications for licensure by universal recognition ("reciprocity"). Applications can be found on the applications page for the profession. Please go to FORMS in the menu, and click on PSY Applications or BA Applications.

The universal recognition policy allows Arizona residents to use an out-of-state professional or occupational license to qualify for an Arizona license to work. To qualify, an applicant must:

Prove residency in Arizona.
Be currently licensed or certified for at least one year in another U.S. state in the discipline applied for and at the same level of practice as recognized in Arizona.
Be in good standing in all states where currently or previously licensed or certified.
Have met all applicable education, work, exam, and/or clinical supervision requirements in the other state where originally licensed or certified.
Complete a criminal background check when required by law.
Take and pass any applicable exam on Arizona state law.
Pay all applicable fees to the Arizona Board of Psychologist Examiners.

Application for Fee Waiver

Arizona Revised Statutes §41-1080.01 provides for a waiver of “any fee charged for an initial license for any individual or applicant whose family income does not exceed 200% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines if the individual is applying for that specific license in this state for the first time.” If you believe that you qualify for the waiver, please use the application found on the application pages provided below and submit with your initial license application.

Please visit PSY APPPLICATIONS or BA APPLICATIONS page to download the Application for Fee Waiver.

ONLINE APPLICATION PORTAL

Use the portal to complete the online renewal application or to pay your license issuance or renewal fee.

We do not have an online application for new applicants. New Psychologist and Behavior Analyst applicants must complete a PDF application. Please go to the FORMS tab in the menu, and then go to the application page appropriate to your profession (PSY or BA) for further information and to download forms, including the Universal Recognition applications.
