Indiana Speech-Language Pathologist Licensing Guide

Indiana SLP License Overview

Indiana has joined the ASLP-IC, but the state is not yet issuing or honoring compact privileges. Until Indiana begins processing privileges, travelers must obtain an Indiana-specific license through the endorsement process before practicing here.

Indiana has enacted ASLP-IC legislation and is a member state, but the compact is NOT yet operational in Indiana. As of early 2026 only Louisiana, Ohio, and West Virginia are issuing/accepting compact privileges. Travelers cannot yet practice in Indiana on a compact privilege; a full Indiana license (by examination or reciprocity) is currently required.

How to Get an Indiana SLP License by Endorsement

Indiana uses an online portal endorsement process for Speech-Language Pathologists already licensed in another state. You'll need to submit your completed application along with supporting documents and the $150 application fee.

1. Submit endorsement application via Indiana board portal
2. Have your current state's licensing authority send official license verification directly to the board at [email protected] (can run concurrently)
3. Complete any state-specific requirements (background check, etc.) (can run concurrently)
4. Await board review and license issuance

License verification is handled through official license verification sent directly to the board ([email protected]) by the licensing authority. Request verification early so your application is not delayed.

Confirm the current fingerprinting and background check steps with the Indiana Professional Licensing Agency. Where fingerprinting applies, submit your authorization as early as possible.

Check the Indiana Professional Licensing Agency website for status updates on your application.

Indiana SLP License Fees

Travelers should factor these licensing costs into their assignment budgeting.

Indiana Temporary SLP License

We have not found a temporary license option on the Indiana Professional Licensing Agency's site. Confirm with the board before planning a start date.

Indiana SLP License Processing Time

Indiana Speech-Language Pathologist endorsement applications typically take 8-10 weeks to process.

In the best-case scenario, processing can be as fast as 6 weeks.

Common sources of delay:

• Jurisprudence exam requirement adds 1-2 weeks; must be scheduled separately after application submission
• Board processes endorsements in batches; applications submitted after monthly cutoff wait until next cycle (4-6 week delay)
• License verification from current state board can take 2-3 weeks if routed through ASHA rather than direct board communication

We have not found an expedited processing option on the Indiana Professional Licensing Agency's site. The best way to minimize your wait time is to ensure all application components — fingerprints, verification, and any required exams — are completed before or immediately after submitting your application.
