Emergency Temporary License Search

Emergency temporary licenses for Psychologist and Behavior Analyst independent practice were issued between 04.09.2020 through 09.30.2022 in response to the state of emergency due to COVID-19. The Board ceased accepting applications for this temporary license as of 10.01.2022. Under A.R.S. § 32-3124(D), a temporary license is no longer valid upon issuance or denial of a full, independent Arizona license. All active emergency temporary licenses will expire on 01.01.2023 per Senate Bill 1309 signed by Governor Doug Ducey on 03.25.2022.

For Credentialers - Primary Source Verification Statement:

The Arizona Board of Psychologist Examiners (Board) has three applications for licensure for psychologists and two applications for behavior analysts.

For the standard Psychologist Application for Exam and/or Licensure and the standard Behavior Analyst Application for Licensure, the Board conducts primary source verification of an applicant’s graduate education, training and passage of the national exam before issuing a license to practice psychology or behavior analysis in Arizona.

For standard psychology applications, some verification(s) of training may be waived based on number of years in independent practice:

For 10 years or more independent practice, the applicant may waive verification of additional 1,500 hours supervised experience.
For 20 years or more independent practice, the applicant may waive verification of all supervised experience/training.

For the Psychologist Application for Licensure by Credential, the credential (CPQ, ABPP or National Register/HSP) is primary source verified. Education and training are not verified by the Board for licensure by credential applications. For applications with the National Register credential, passage of the national exam is also primary source verified.

For Psychologist or Behavior Analyst Applications for Licensure by Universal Recognition, Arizona statutes and rules do not permit the Board to verify education and training.

A National Practitioner Data Bank self-query is required for all psychology applicants.

For all applications for licensure, verification of licensure/certification and disciplinary history from every jurisdiction in the U.S. and Canada in which a psychologist or behavior analyst holds or has held a license/certification is obtained directly from the licensing boards for each applicant, as applicable.

Please note, staff will not confirm or deny confidential information such as birth dates, social security numbers, etc. If further information is required, please contact the appropriate staff:
