Psychologist Renewals
Renewal Period
The Oklahoma State Board of Examiners of Psychologists (OSBEP) annual renewal period opens October 15 and closes December 31 each year. All renewal requirements, including Continuing Professional Education (CPE) and payment of renewal fees, must be completed online by December 31 to maintain an active license status.
Renewal Requirements
To renew an active psychologist license, licensees must complete the following through the online renewal system:
- Verify and update contact information
- Enter Continuing Professional Education (CPE) credits
- Complete required attestation questions
- Complete the Workforce Survey
- Pay the annual renewal fee
Renewal Fee
A $400 non-refundable renewal fee is required prior to processing the request.

Late submissions are subject to statutory late penalties.
License Status After December 31
If all renewal requirements, including CPE and renewal fees, are not completed by December 31, the license will become INVALID on January 1. Practicing psychology without a valid license may result in disciplinary action or Board complaint proceedings.
Inactive Status
Licensees who are not actively practicing may request inactive status online and pay a one time inactive fee of $150. You will need to sign and upload the Psychologist Inactive Status Request Licensee Acknowledgment form.
Tax Compliance Reminder
Pursuant to Senate Bill 1040, licenses cannot be renewed if the licensee is not compliant with the Oklahoma Tax Commission (OTC). Licenses subject to an OTC hold will remain invalid until the Board receives official release notification and all renewal requirements are completed.
Continuing Education - Purpose
The purpose of continuing professional education requirements for psychologists is to assure that licensees update and advance their skills such that the public shall benefit from the most current and effective standards of professional practice. To further the goal of public benefit, all psychologists are encouraged to fulfill a portion of their continuing professional education requirements in the areas of ethics, professional conduct, and related legal issues.
