✓ Yes — compact transfer

Yes. Missouri is a member of the Psychology Interjurisdictional Compact (PSYPACT), so a Licensed Psychologist holding a multistate/compact license can practice in MO without re-applying. PSYPACT is robust for psychologist spouses — covers both telehealth and temp in-person across nearly 40 states.

Missouri military-spouse provision

RSMo 324.009 directs a licensing authority to waive examination, education, and experience requirements and issue a license within thirty days to a nonresident military spouse holding a comparable out-of-state license, and the State Committee of Psychologists falls within its scope (no psychology carve-out).
