The Board of Psychology is
responsible for licensing and regulating psychologists, provisional
psychologists and limited license psychologists in Florida.
Licensure Method
You are not required to use this method if licensed in another state.
However, it is an option that may be used by someone who holds an active,
valid license as a psychologist in another state, provided that when such
license was secured, the requirements were substantially equivalent to or
more stringent than those in Florida at that time. If no Florida law existed
at that time, then the requirements in the other state must have been
substantially equivalent to or more stringent that those currently required
by Florida Statutes. Please see section 490.006, F.S. The Board will also review your
individual credentials to determine if you would have been eligible for
licensure in Florida had you applied in Florida the same year that you were
licensed in the other state. If the program from which you graduated did not
have APA accreditation at the time you graduated, or within three years
after you graduated, you must provide a letter of the comparability of your
program pursuant to rule 64B19-11.0035, F.A.C.
