All applicants must fully complete and submit the required licensure application form. Applicants may submit proof of the required education by the methods indicated below for the Board’s determination of acceptance:
- a true copy of the applicant’s transcript sent directly to the Board, or
- electronic submission through the National Student Clearinghouse, or
- electronic submission through the Association of State and Provincial Psychology Board’s (ASPPB) Mobility Program, or

Applicants who have banked their original supervised experience credentials with the Association of State & Provincial Psychology Boards, National Register for Health Service Psychologists, American Board of Professional Psychology, with other states of licensure or with facilities in which post-doctoral experience was completed, might request documents be provided from those sources for the Board’s review and determination as to acceptance. Additionally, if a state or territory has submitted official verifications of a Puerto Rico license to any of these entities, the applicant may submit for review and determination as to whether acceptable.
