Dear Licensees:

The Ohio Board of Psychology has migrated to the state of Ohio’s new online application, license management, supervision management, and license renewal system.  The eLicense Ohio system operates in a secure web-based environment, and will allow you to take care of most Board business and payments online.  Please follow the steps below to create an account and review your profile information:

• Navigate to the new e-License Home Page at https://elicense.ohio.gov.
• Select the “Login/Create an Account” option.
• Select the “I HAVE A LICENSE” button.

After successfully registering, you will be directed to your online user “Dashboard” page.  A “tile” will appear showing your license, license number, status and give you an “options” picklist.  From the “options” picklist you will be able to conduct all Board business, such as:

• Supervisee registration and termination,
• Address changes,
• License verification requests,
• Duplicate card and wall certificate requests,
• Biennial license renewal,
• License reinstatements, and
• Name change requests.

Should you have any questions regarding managing your account or during the setup of your account, please contact the Board at (614) 466-8808. Alternatively, you are always welcome to email the Board at info@psy.ohio.gov.

Sincerely,

The Ohio Board of Psychology
