Licensure in Illinois - Psychology

[LetsMatch]

Hello everyone,

I am hoping to get some clarification with regards to the licensure process for clinical psychology in IL. I'm currently a 2nd year post-doc in neuropsychology. A few months ago, I submitted the paperwork to IDFPR (along with transcripts, internship and postdoc hours) to obtain the approval to take the EPPP. I was approved and recently passed the exam (yay!). I'm not sure what the next step is. Do I have to wait for the board to send me the license, or is there another application process (and would have to resubmit my hours)? I called IDFPR, but the person I called was not sure, and I am waiting to hear back from them. Thank you!

If you haven't already, join the Illinois Psychological Association and ask other members for advice. State psych associations have been my best resource for the past 30 years.

They usually will just send you the license a few days or a week after you pass the EPPP. Sometimes they won’t let you know and just add your name to the IDFPR license lookup page.
