Who is eligible to apply for a temporary license?

The eligibility to apply for a temporary license is specifically designed to facilitate professionals transitioning into the field of psychology. Individuals applying for licensure by endorsement typically meet certain qualifications and already possess credentials from another jurisdiction, making them candidates for temporary licensure as they work towards obtaining full licensure in Georgia. This temporary status allows them to start practicing while finalizing their licensure requirements.

Graduate students or individuals with a master's degree may not possess the necessary credentials or professional experience required for a temporary license. The focus on licensure by endorsement is crucial, as it underscores the acceptance of previously earned qualifications that align with Georgia's requirements, supporting a smoother transition for experienced professionals into the state’s practice framework.
