EPPP Score Transfer: Sending Your Score to Another Board, the CPQ and How Long a Score Lasts

The one EPPP score report your exam fee covers

Every EPPP score is registered automatically with ASPPB's Score Transfer Service, which keeps a permanent record. Your exam fee pays for one report: ASPPB sends your latest score to the licensing authority where you're seeking initial licensure, typically within 10 business days after the exam.

The EPPP Candidate Handbook (September 2026) is specific about which board that is: the one you selected when you registered for that part of the exam. Three consequences follow:

• Applying in two places at once doesn't double the free report. If you're applying for licensure in several states or provinces, only the board selected at registration gets the score. Every other board needs an official score transfer sent directly from ASPPB.
• Your printout isn't a transfer. The unofficial score report you get at the test center can't be used for score transfers.
• Helplines won't give out scores. The handbook says neither ASPPB nor Pearson VUE's helpline gives score information.

EPPP score transfer options and fees

When you order a transfer, ASPPB offers three options, plus free transfers for CPQ holders, as listed on its transfer page and its mobility fee schedule on October 27, 2026:

The fee schedule lists the $85 standard transfer as covering Part 1 and/or Part 2 per jurisdiction. Each official report also includes any disciplinary sanctions reported to ASPPB's Disciplinary Data System by a member board.

A practical rule: order the standard transfer as soon as you've applied to the new board, and keep the expedited option for a deadline you can't move. Paying $115 instead of $85 buys about a week.

How to order an EPPP score transfer

ASPPB's transfer page and its Mobility Program Policies and Procedures (v7.2025) describe the online route:

1. Set up a PSY|PRO account. PSY|PRO is ASPPB's portal for its mobility services. The first time you use it, register as a new user.
2. Wait until the score is in the system. Scores appear in PSY|PRO within 10 business days after you complete the exam.
3. Choose the transfer activity. On your home page, select the option for transferring (or verifying and transferring) your EPPP score.
4. Follow the prompts to the end. The policies say to complete the request in its entirety. Have the receiving board's name and your choice of standard, expedited or self-score ready before you start.

The handbook adds that transfers can also be processed by phone at (678) 216-1175, and the transfer page lists psypro@asppb.org for questions.

How long an EPPP score stays valid

People search for whether EPPP scores expire. On ASPPB's side, they don't: the service keeps a permanent record, and its policies say ASPPB has score records on file since the first administration of the EPPP. Records from before January 1, 1985 are on paper and may need extra information to locate.

Whether a board accepts an older score is a separate question, and it belongs to the board. The ASPPB transfer and mobility pages we read don't set an age limit, and boards write their own rules. Nevada's board, for example, says in its FAQ that applicants who passed the EPPP for licensure in another jurisdiction don't have to retake it for Nevada. Other boards may word it differently, or add their own exams, so ask the new board before you order anything.

The 2027 switch adds one more question for anyone who'll still be using a Part 1 score after the launch. ASPPB's integrated EPPP replaces Part 1 for first-time candidates in fall 2027, and ASPPB's announcements don't address how boards will treat Part 1 scores in later applications. If you're moving after 2027 with a Part 1 score from earlier, ask the new board how it handles it. The EPPP 2027 guide covers who takes which version, and if you're aiming to pass Part 1 before the switch, 1,350 explained Part 1 questions planned for launch follow ASPPB's current eight content areas.

Applying to several boards before you test

If you know you'll want licenses in more than one jurisdiction, the order matters. The free report goes only to the board selected at registration, so test through the board where you want your first license, and budget $85 for each additional jurisdiction. The registration guide explains how boards enter you into Clarus.

Every later transfer draws on the same permanent record, so the score you earn now follows you to each new board. The EPPP passing score guide explains what 500 means on the 200–800 scale, and a 225-question timed Part 1 rehearsal planned for launch builds the stamina for the real sitting.

The CPQ: free transfers and faster licensure in some jurisdictions

Once you've practiced for a while, ASPPB's Certificate of Professional Qualification in Psychology (CPQ) is meant to expedite later license applications, and it makes EPPP score transfers free. It isn't a license. It's ASPPB's verification that you meet its recommended standards for licensure, and boards that accept it treat it as evidence of your education, supervised experience and exam performance.

The CPQ Quick Guide lists the requirements:

• License: a current, active psychology license based on a doctoral degree, in an ASPPB member jurisdiction, with no disciplinary action on any license.
• Education: a doctoral degree in psychology from a program that was APA- or CPA-accredited, or designated by ASPPB and the National Register, at the time the degree was conferred or within 18 months of it. A separate route applies to some psychologists continuously licensed for 15 years with a degree from before 2000. You also need at least one continuous academic year of in-person, full-time residency.
• Supervised experience: two years and at least 3,000 hours, with at least one year after the doctorate, and at least one hour a week of individual face-to-face supervision by a licensed doctoral psychologist.
• EPPP: a score at or above ASPPB's recommended passing score. The policies add that for exams taken before 2001, the passing score is the one your doctoral-level license was based on.
• Experience: at least five years of post-licensure work at the independent level.

The application costs $200, or $100 if you hold ABPP certification, and isn't refundable. ASPPB quotes 2 to 3 weeks of processing, though it can vary. A CPQ verification to a board costs $50, and EPPP score transfers become free.

Where the CPQ counts, according to ASPPB's jurisdictional listing dated June 8, 2026:

• 38 jurisdictions accept the CPQ, including California, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Virginia, Ontario and British Columbia. Some of them restrict licensure to health service providers and may ask CPQ holders for extra evidence of that training.
• 15 recognizing jurisdictions may waive at least one licensure requirement for applicants who've held an active CPQ for a period the board sets, including Texas, Illinois, Georgia, Massachusetts and Washington.

The CPQ page also lists its limits: a jurisdiction may still require a local jurisprudence exam, training such as abuse reporting, or a personal interview.

Banking records while you're early in your career

If the CPQ is years away, ASPPB's Credentials Bank is free for PSY|PRO users. It stores EPPP scores, transcripts, supervision records, licensure information and other documents, so a later application or CPQ can draw on records you've already banked. ASPPB's fee schedule lists separate charges for some transfers out of the bank, such as $50 for a materials transfer request.

The next step for an EPPP score transfer

Ask the new board two questions before you pay: does it want an official ASPPB transfer, and does it accept a score of your exam's age. Then order the standard transfer in PSY|PRO. If you're still preparing for Part 1, the 20 free EPPP practice questions show how the exam phrases foundational knowledge, and you can pick a 30-, 90- or 180-day window for the planned Part 1 prep once checkout opens.
