EPPP Score Transfer: Cost, Timing, and How to Request One
An EPPP score transfer is how your score gets to a second licensing board. ASPPB keeps a permanent record of your EPPP score, and when you apply for a license in a new state or province, you ask ASPPB to send an official report to that board. A standard transfer costs $85 per jurisdiction and takes about two weeks, per ASPPB's score transfer page.
You do not need a transfer for your first board. Your exam fee already covers the report to the licensing authority where you are seeking initial licensure, and ASPPB says it typically reports that score within 10 business days after you test.
EPPP score transfer options and fees
These are the three options listed on ASPPB's EPPP Score Transfer page, pulled on September 20, 2026.
| Option | Cost | Timing | What it is |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard score transfer | $85 per jurisdiction | About two weeks from your request | Official report sent to the board |
| Expedited score transfer | $115 per jurisdiction | About five business days from your request | Same report, faster |
| Self-score transfer | $25 | About two weeks from your request | Unofficial report for you: score, exam date, exam jurisdiction, candidate ID |
ASPPB also states that score transfers are free for holders of its Certificate of Professional Qualification in Psychology (CPQ). Fees change, so check the ASPPB page before you pay.
How to request an EPPP score transfer
- Create or log in to a PSY|PRO account. ASPPB runs transfers through its PSY|PRO portal. New users register first.
- Choose "Transferring my EPPP Score" on the home page and follow the prompts.
- Pick the board and the speed. You pay per jurisdiction, so two new states means two fees.
Your score shows up in the system within 10 business days after you complete an exam, so a transfer request the day after you test will not move faster. The handbook also lists a phone option: ASPPB at (678) 216-1175.
One detail people miss: the report is more than a number. ASPPB says the transfer also reports any disciplinary sanctions that member boards have filed in its Disciplinary Data System.
Does a passing score transfer to every state?
The score transfers. Whether it counts is up to the new board, because each board sets its own passing standard. ASPPB recommends 500 for independent practice and 450 for supervised practice, and the handbook says all licensing authorities currently accept the 500 for independent practice, while supervised-practice cut scores vary. How to find your board's number is in EPPP passing score by state. Ask the new board two things before you pay for a transfer: what score it accepts, and whether it has any rule about how old a score can be. I have not verified any board's age rule, so I am not going to guess at one here.
If you did not pass
A transfer does not reset anything. Moving to a new jurisdiction means that board's retake rules apply to you, and ASPPB's limit still holds everywhere: no more than four attempts in any 12-month period. The full rules are in how many times you can take the EPPP, and the recovery plan is in what to do after failing the EPPP.
If your score came in under 500, the more useful move is figuring out which domains cost you the points. Our free retake readiness page starts with eight EPPP-style questions, one per domain, no signup.
