Licensed Educational PsychologistsRevenue

Section § 4989.68

Explanation
This law outlines the fees that the state board charges for licensing educational psychologists. The application fee is $250, which can rise to $500 through regulation changes. An initial license costs $200, and its renewal every two years is also $200, with possible increases to $400. If you let your license expire, you'll face a delinquency fee that's half the renewal cost. The written exam fee is $250, potentially up to $500, and missing the exam forfeits this fee. Rescoring a test costs $20, and replacements for licenses or certificates are $20 each. Getting a certificate or letter of good standing costs $25, and transitioning to a retired license costs $40. This law became effective January 1, 2021.
