Licensing boards, healthcare organizations, and employers use the National Register to verify qualifications of psychologists applying for—or maintaining—licensure, privileges, or job opportunities.
National Register HSP Credentialed Members: As a benefit of your National Register membership, you may submit a request asking the National Register to send a verification letter to a licensing board or other entity.
Employers and Healthcare Organizations: We’re now using an online verification system. Access your account (or create an account as a “credentials verification specialist” using your work email address if this is your first visit) to verify providers through our verification directory.
During the application process for the National Register Health Service Psychologist credential, you’ll submit documentation of your education, internship, and postdoctoral experience. If you meet the credentialing requirements and your application is approved, this documentation is “banked” and is the foundation for our verifications benefit.
Actively credentialed HSPs may request that a verification letter be sent on their behalf to a state licensing board that participates in the National Register’s licensure mobility program. This verification expedites licensure and eliminates the need to find original documentation of education and training. Some states have additional requirements that must be met by all applicants.
Agencies that hire or contract with licensed, doctoral-level psychologists can easily verify National Register HSP status. Supporting documentation of education and training can be provided on behalf of actively credentialed HSPs if needed.
