Inactive Status is available to licensees.

Inactive Status means that a licensee is taking a full break from providing psychological services.  Inactive status places a hold on practice privileges associated with licensure under the law until reactivation to Active Status is requested by the licensee and approved by the Board.  Any individual whose license is Inactive shall not use the title Licensed Psychologist or Licensed Psychological Technician in Alabama.  If a licensee is found to have violated professional conduct laws or rules, the Board may deny reinstatement or prohibit future applications for reinstatement or restoration of licensure.  Inactive status does not remove the Board's authority over any actions taken during periods of active licensure.

An executed Continuation of Inactive Status form & payment of the applicable Inactive Fee must be submitted annually prior to October 15, or the license will LAPSE.  Annual notices will be available for Inactive Licensee by August 15 & responses are due by October 15.  Continuing Education is not required for Inactive status, but CEs are required to reinstate to Active Status.

A licensee may reinstate their license to Active status by satisfying the following:

  1. Submission of the executed Reinstatement of Active Status form;
  2. Payment of the current annual Renewal & CE Fee; and,
  3. Proof of completion of the previous year's CE requirements.

If a licensee is found to have violated professional conduct laws or rules, the Board, upon a hearing and proof of the violation, may deny reinstatement or prohibit future applications for reinstatement or restoration of licensure.
