HRS §465-9

Getting a temporary psychology permit in Hawaii

If you are not licensed in Hawaii but want to practice psychology here for a short time, you must ask the board for a temporary permit. You can get one if you are licensed in another state with similar standards. The permit lasts up to 90 days, and the board may extend it once for another 90 days.

The statute, as written — Temporary permit

A person not licensed in the State who wishes to engage in the practice of psychology for a period not to exceed ninety days within a calendar year shall petition the board for a temporary permit. If the person is licensed or certified in another state deemed by the board to have standards equivalent to this chapter, the person shall be entitled to a temporary permit in the same manner and subject to the same conditions specified in section 465-8 applicable to the issuance of licenses. The period of ninety days may be extended at the discretion of the board but not to exceed ninety days.
