Unlike a time-limited certification, the EPPP is a one-time licensing exam — you don’t “renew” the
EPPP itself. What you maintain afterward is your psychology license. Here’s how score
validity, transfer, and license renewal actually work.
Do EPPP scores expire?
ASPPB retains your EPPP score, and the ASPPB Score Transfer service lets you send an
official score to another jurisdiction if you move or seek additional licenses. However, individual
jurisdictions may set their own time limits on how old a passing score they’ll accept — always
confirm with the specific board.
What you renew is your license, not the EPPP
Once licensed, psychologists maintain licensure through their board’s continuing-education (CE)
requirements on a recurring cycle (commonly every 1–2 years, varying by state). You generally
do not retake the EPPP to keep your license.
| Item | How it works |
|---|---|
| EPPP retake | Not required once you pass and are licensed |
| Score transfer | Via ASPPB to other jurisdictions (fees apply) |
| License renewal | Board CE requirements, varying by jurisdiction |

Frequently asked questions
Does the EPPP expire?
ASPPB retains your EPPP score and can transfer it to other jurisdictions, but individual psychology boards may set their own time limits on how old a passing score they will accept — confirm with the specific board.
Do you have to retake the EPPP to keep your license?
No. Once you pass the EPPP and are licensed, you maintain licensure through your board’s continuing-education requirements, not by retaking the exam.
Can you transfer an EPPP score to another state?
Yes. The ASPPB Score Transfer service sends an official EPPP score to another jurisdiction when you move or seek an additional license; fees apply.
