Quick answer · verified July 23, 2026

As of July 23, 2026, 42 PSYPACT jurisdictions are active, 2 have enacted PSYPACT without an active date in this ruleset (Alaska, Iowa), and 7 states have no PSYPACT route at all. The modeled cost is $440 upfront and $140 to renew annually.

Active jurisdictions: 42
Authorization (upfront): $440
Annual renewal: $140
Applies to: Telepsychology into the receiving state

PSYPACT lets a psychologist with a full, active, unrestricted license in one PSYPACT jurisdiction add authorization to practice telepsychology into another — instead of buying a second state license. This page is the roster: which jurisdictions are active, which have enacted it without an active date, and the working route for every state that has neither.

Active PSYPACT jurisdictions (42)

An eligible psychologist can add telepsychology authorization into these jurisdictions through ASPPB E.Passport and APIT, with no separate state license. $440 upfront, $140 to renew.

Enacted, not active yet (2)

The law is enacted but the jurisdiction is not in the active list in this ruleset, so it cannot be used for practice yet. Recheck the official jurisdiction list before relying on an effective date.

No PSYPACT route (7)

PSYPACT cannot authorize telepsychology into these states. The working routes are a telehealth-only registration where the state offers one, or a full state license — each state page below prices both.

How the PSYPACT route works

PSYPACT telepsychology authorization

1Confirm the home-state psychology license is full, active, unrestricted, and in a PSYPACT jurisdiction.
2Apply for ASPPB E.Passport, then APIT through PSYPACT for telepsychology.
3Verify authorization before seeing patients in receiving states.

What this route does not do

PSYPACT membership alone is not permission to practice: E.Passport and APIT authorization are still required.
The receiving state's scope, telehealth, records, emergency, and advertising rules still apply on every route.
Informational only. State boards and compact commissions control eligibility, timing, fees, and scope — verify before you treat a patient across state lines.
