Interjurisdictional Practice Certificate (IPC)®
Thanks to the Psychology Interjurisdictional Compact (PSYPACT)®, you can seek temporary authorization to provide in-person, face-to-face psychology services in select additional jurisdictions without obtaining additional licensures. Temporary authorizations are only available in states that participate in PSYPACT and are limited to a maximum of 30 total calendar days per year. Your home state (i.e., where you are licensed) must also be a PSYPACT participant.
In order to practice temporarily in-person under the Psychology Interjurisdictional Compact (PSYPACT), you must complete a two-step process—first with the Association of State and Provincial Psychology Boards (ASPPB)® then with the PSYPACT Commission. For more information about PSYPACT review the PSYPACT website.
If ASPPB approves your IPC® application, you will receive an email prompt to log in to PSY|PRO and review your automatically generated Temporary Authorization to Practice (TAP) application. Complete your TAP application by declaring your home state (i.e., where you are licensed). Your state must be a PSYPACT participant. The PSYPACT Commission will alert you regarding the status of your TAP application. When you are notified of approval, you have the authority to practice under PSYPACT.
You can maintain your IPC through our annual renewal process. Prior to the expiration of your IPC, ASPPB will send you email reminders to log in to PSY|PRO and complete your renewal. To maintain authority under PSYPACT, you must also complete the TAP renewal annually.
