• either “attach” or “upload” the required document(s) directly to your application. This means you will find the document(s) saved on your computer or device and upload it to your application.

• click “acknowledge” . This means you will either have to mail the documents yourself or request the “third-party” mail the document(s) directly to the Board office.
  • Examples of “third-party forms” are transcripts from schools, employment verifications from a supervisor, and license verifications from another state.
• Forms requiring a supervisor signature, seal, or notary may have to be MAILED to the Board office directly UNLESS the document specifically indicates to UPLOAD the document.

The requirements for this license type are provided in the following section(s).

In addition to submitting the application and fee in DELPROS, you must submit:

• A State of Delaware and Federal Bureau of Investigation criminal background check (CBC). Go to the Criminal Background Check Process page to find the Service Code required to obtain a State of Delaware and Federal Bureau of Investigation criminal background check. Once you have your Service Code, you will be directed to the IdentoGO website for instructions to complete the fingerprinting process.
  • Criminal background checks completed for any other purpose (e.g., employment, licensure in other states) will not meet this requirement.

• An official transcript, sent directly from the college/university to the Board office, showing that you have a doctoral degree from a psychological studies program specifically designed to train and prepare psychologists, such as the American Psychological Association (APA) or Psychological Clinical Science Accreditation System (PCSAS).

• If you have already passed the EPPP and do not hold a Diploma of American Board of Examiners in Professional Psychology, have your score report sent directly from the ASPPB to the Board office. To obtain a score report, see www.asppb.net.

• If you have not passed the EPPP, submit an official letter from the college/university showing the date your doctoral degree was conferred. This letter must be signed by the program director and sent directly to the Board office. The Board will review your application for approval to test.

It is required to report supervisory affiliation (business relationship) changes to the Board as soon as possible.  There are two forms that Supervising Psychologists use for reporting changes. The forms must be completed and signed by the Supervising Psychologist and submitted by the Psychological Assistant in DELPROS online portal.  Changes can be reported at any time, however, how the forms are submitted in the online portal may be different depending on what is being changed and when it is being changed during the renewal cycle. One form is:

• The Psychological Assistant Report of Initial or New Supervisor  form is required whenever a “new” affiliation (business relationship) occurs between a Psychological Assistant and a Supervising Psychologist. This includes initial requests (new applications) and/or when a Psychological Assistant acquires a new or additional Supervisor at any other time. Submit this form when:

• • The Psychological Assistant’s initial application for licensure – This form and the detailed job description must be completed and signed by the Supervising Psychologist and promptly given to the Psychological Assistant applicant because it is a required submission for his/her initial online application.

• • A new affiliation change occurs during the Psychology renewal period (May 1 – September 30 of odd years) – During the online renewal, the Psychological Assistant is asked to verify if the supervisor listed in the renewal application is correct.  If the supervisor is not correct, the Psychological Assistant must upload this signed form. The renewal application will be “on hold” and will be considered complete when the Board has approved the “new” supervisor.

• • A new affiliation change occurs any other time outside of the Psychology renewal period (May 1 – September 30 of odd years) – The Psychological Assistant must submit this signed form through a Service Request – Manage Affiliations. To submit a Service Request, you must first create and log into your DELPROS user account. Click on the Service Request link in the dark blue banner at the top of the page on Your Dashboard and follow the instructions for a Manage Affiliations Service Request for the Psychological Assistant license.

The other form is:

• The Psychological Assistant Report of Releasing Supervisor form must be submitted to the Board through the DELPROS online portal whenever a current Psychological Assistant/Supervising Psychologist affiliation (business relationship) terminates (or releases). Termination of affiliations may occur at any time for a multitude of reasons and must always be reported to the Board. In addition to reporting the supervisory change, this form also documents the duties performed and the hours of post-doctoral supervised experience gained during the period that the Psychological Assistant was under the releasing Psychologist’s supervision. Submit this form when:
  • An affiliation change occurs during the Psychology renewal period (May 1 – September 30 of odd years), the Psychological Assistant must submit this signed form with his/her online renewal application. During the online renewal, the Psychological Assistant is asked to verify if the supervisor listed in the renewal application is correct. If the supervisor is not correct, the Psychological Assistant must upload this signed form. The renewal application will be “on hold” until the Board Office processes the release. A Psychological Assistant cannot practice without a supervisor.
• • An affiliation change occurs any other time outside of the Psychology renewal period (May 1 – September 30 of odd years) – The Psychological Assistant or the Supervising Psychologist must submit this signed form through a Service Request – Manage Affiliations.. To submit a Service Request, you must first create and log into your DELPROS user account. Click on the Service Request link in the dark blue banner at the top of the page on Your Dashboard and follow the instructions for a Manage Affiliations Service Request for the Psychological Assistant particular license.

See Section 7 & 9 of the Board’s Rules and Regulations for full details on supervision of Psychological Assistants.

The Psychological Assistant who has been released from the Psychologist’s supervision is not allowed to provide services until the Psychological Assistant Report of New Supervisor form has been submitted unless they are practicing under another one of their Board-approved supervisor(s).
