How to apply
To secure your Travel Speech Language Pathologist license in Indiana, you'll be working with the Indiana Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology Board. You will submit your application through MyLicense. Before you start, I recommend initiating your background check and requesting your transcripts to get the ball rolling.
Step-by-Step Guide
- Get Your Documents Moving: Request your official transcripts from your university and your Praxis scores from ETS. These must be sent directly from the source to the Board; they won't accept copies you send yourself.
- Background Check: Indiana uses IdentoGO for criminal background checks. You will likely need a specific service code to register, which is typically provided during the application process or on the Board's instructions page.
- Hit Submit: Head over to MyLicense to create an account and submit your online application. This is where you'll pay your application fee and upload any required personal documents.
- Jurisprudence Exam: You will be required to pass a written jurisprudence examination that covers the Indiana Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology Statute and Administrative Rules. Keep an eye on your email or the portal for instructions on how to take this once your application is in the system.
What You'll Need & Key Details
- Documents to Have Ready: A recent passport-style photo, your Social Security Number, and your driver's license.
- Items to Request: Official Transcripts (sent directly from your school), Praxis Exam scores (sent directly from ETS), and verification of licensure from any other states where you hold a license.
- Exams: You must pass the Indiana Jurisprudence Examination.
Initial Costs
Here is the breakdown of what you can expect to spend to get licensed in Indiana:
- Application Fee: $150
- Background Check / Fingerprinting: $38 (approximate)
- Jurisprudence Exam: $0
- Verifications: $0
- Total Estimated Initial Cost: $188
Note: Fees are subject to change by the Board, but this gives you a solid estimate to plan your budget!
Renewals
When to Renew: Indiana Speech Language Pathologist renewal happens biennially and is due by December 31st of odd-numbered years.
Cost: The renewal fee is approximately $100.
Note: Make sure to complete your 36 hours of continuing education within the two-year period prior to the deadline to ensure a smooth renewal process.
CE Requirements
36 Clock Hours required every 2 years.
Deadline: December 31st of odd-numbered years (e.g., 2025, 2027).
Live vs. Online: Great news for Travel Speech Language Pathologist CEUs: you can complete all 36 hours online! While Indiana law limits "self-study" (defined as reading journals or watching videos without an assessment) to 6 hours, formal online courses that include a post-test are not considered self-study and have no limit.
Provider Restrictions: Courses must be provided by Board-approved organizations or those approved by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA). General portals like MedBridge are accepted as they are ASHA-approved providers. Note that 1 ASHA CEU is equivalent to 10 clock hours.
Mandatory Topics
- No specific mandatory topics—choose what interests you!
Excluded Topics: Hours cannot be earned for business, marketing, office management, or social activities.
New Licensee Rule: You are not required to complete CE for the calendar year in which your license was issued. If you are a newly licensed traveler, your requirement is prorated: 0 hours are required if licensed in an odd-numbered year, and 18 hours are required if licensed in an even-numbered year.
Reporting: Indiana is audit-based. You will attest to your completion during the online renewal process via the Professional Licensing Agency (PLA) portal. You must retain your certificates of completion for at least 3 years in case of an audit.
