TEMPORARY EXCEPTION TO PRACTICE APPLICATION
APPLICATION FEE - $100.00 (NON-REFUNDABLE)
This application is to be used during the COVID -19 pandemic by psychologists who are not licensed in Maryland.
Psychologists must hold an active and in good standing license in another jurisdiction and want to provide services
to their client who is temporarily residing in Maryland due to the pandemic. The application asks for the exception
date/s; however, the Board reserves the right to determine the length of time of the exception. If the client does not
plan to return to the jurisdiction where you are licensed, you will need to apply for a Maryland license to continue
serving that client. If you wish to provide services to NEW clients, you will need to apply for a Maryland license.
The application for licensure as well as Maryland laws and regulations are at
www.health.maryland.gov/psych.
