Guide to Endorsement License Procedures for Psychologists in New Hampshire

Before applying for an endorsement license in New Hampshire, it's crucial to grasp the overall process. The New Hampshire Board of Psychologists oversees licensure for psychologists in the state. To qualify for endorsement, you must already hold a valid license in another jurisdiction and meet the board's requirements for endorsement. Familiarize yourself with these requirements and the necessary documentation by visiting the board's website: [New Hampshire Board of Psychologists](https://www.oplc.nh.gov/psychologists/endorsement.htm)

To begin the endorsement license application, gather all the necessary documents. These typically include:

1. Completed endorsement application form
2. Verification of current license from the original state
3. Official transcripts from your doctoral program
4. Proof of professional liability insurance coverage

Ensure you have all these documents in order before proceeding.

With your documents prepared, it's time to submit your endorsement license application. Access the online application portal provided by the New Hampshire Board of Psychologists. Create an account or log in to an existing one. Fill in the required information and attach the relevant documents. Pay attention to any application fees mentioned on the board's website.

As part of the endorsement process, you may need to arrange for professional recommendations. Contact three or more psychologists who are familiar with your work and can provide references. Ask them if they would be willing to complete recommendation forms or letters on your behalf. Choose individuals who can attest to your competence and ethical conduct within the psychological field.

Depending on your specific circumstances, the New Hampshire Board of Psychologists may require you to fulfill additional requirements. These might include passing a jurisprudence examination, submitting to a criminal background check, or providing evidence of continuing education. Visit the board's website for detailed information on any supplementary requirements.

After submitting your application, the New Hampshire Board of Psychologists will review your documentation and credentials. This process may take several weeks. While waiting, ensure your contact information is up to date, as the board may need to reach out for additional information or clarification.

Once the board approves your application, you will receive your endorsement license. This grants you the authority to practice and provide psychological services within the state of New Hampshire. Keep a copy of your license in a safe place and make note of its expiration date, as you will need to renew it periodically.
