Can a Licensed Psychologist transfer a license to Alabama as a military spouse?
Yes. Alabama is a member of the Psychology Interjurisdictional Compact (PSYPACT), so a Licensed Psychologist holding a multistate/compact license can practice in AL without re-applying. PSYPACT is robust for psychologist spouses — covers both telehealth and temp in-person across nearly 40 states.
Your psychology licensing board in Alabama
Under the Military Family Jobs Opportunity Act (Code of Alabama 31-1-6), licensing boards including the Board of Examiners in Psychology must issue a license or a temporary permit (valid at least 180 days) to the spouse of an active-duty service member stationed in Alabama who holds a comparable out-of-state license.
