COLEGIO DE PSICOLOGOS DEL PERU CDN (CPSP)

What COLEGIO DE PSICOLOGOS DEL PERU CDN (CPSP) does

Colegio de Psicólogos del Perú - Consejo Directivo Nacional (CPSP) is the sole legally authorized professional regulatory body for psychologists in Peru, established in 1980 under Decreto Ley N° 23019. It serves approximately 75,756 registered psychologists nationwide through a federated structure of 22 Regional Directorial Councils (CDRs) covering all major Peruvian departments, plus a central national headquarters in Jesús María, Lima. Its core function is to credential, register, and discipline practicing psychologists; it maintains the National Specialty Registry (Registro Nacional de Especialidad) and a Code of Ethics and Deontology, and it issues the legal membership credential required to practice psychology in Peru.

CPSP operates as a membership-based professional association rather than a venture-backed company. Revenue is generated primarily through recurring annual colegiatura fees (S/ 462.00 national registration, S/ 33.00 PIAAC mutual fund contribution, S/ 50.00 extraordinary contribution, plus S/ 1,155.00 regional council fees), supplemented by transaction-based document services (S/ 40.00 authentication/fedateo, S/ 25.00 duplicate ID card, S/ 30.00 duplicate specialty diploma, S/ 880.00 second specialty registration). Service delivery runs through in-person CDRs and a virtual Mesa de Partes system. The core technology stack consists of two administrative databases (the new SICPSIC and the legacy SISAD) used to track registered members and their credentials; no AI/ML, no public APIs, and no software product commercialization is disclosed.

The organization is led by Decana Nacional Teresa María Machado Raza and a national board, supported by 22 regionally elected Decanos/Decanas. It generates non-dues engagement through the digital magazine 'La Nacional', the biennial MINDTECH congress, and an extensive institutional partnership network spanning international bodies (American Psychological Association, Universidad de Buenos Aires, Universidad Internacional de Valencia, Instituto Raimon Gaja), Peruvian universities, government agencies (PRONABEC, DRELM, DIRIS Lima Centro), and consumer-benefit partners (dental clinics, theaters, transportation). PIAAC, a member-funded mutual aid program, distributes S/ 1,000 for serious illness and S/ 1,500 for death benefits. The entity is privately held as a non-profit professional college and does not raise external capital.

Regional players

• Colegio de Psicólogos de Chile: Chile's professional college for psychologists, the closest regional peer operating under a similar regulatory framework in a neighboring country with parallel functions (licensure, specialty registry, continuing education).
• Ordem dos Psicólogos do Brasil (CFP): Brazil's federal psychology council, a regional peer operating as the official licensing and disciplinary body for psychologists in Brazil, with a comparable scope of regulatory functions across a much larger jurisdiction.
• Consejo General de Colegios Oficiales de Psicólogos (Spain): Spain's national council of official psychology colleges, a regional peer with an analogous structure of regional colleges under a national umbrella, providing comparable credentialing, ethics enforcement, and member services.
• Consejo Federal de Psicología de Argentina: Argentina's federation of psychology councils, a regional peer managing professional licensing across provincial jurisdictions, with comparable functions in ethics enforcement and specialty recognition.

Broad incumbents

• British Psychological Society: UK-based chartered psychology body providing registration, member grades, and continuing professional development. Analogous in combining professional recognition with member benefits, though operating as a chartered body rather than a statutory licensing college.
• American Psychological Association: The world's largest psychology professional association. While broader in scope and voluntary (not a licensing body), it is a flagship CPSP partner and the most relevant international benchmark for member services, content, and continuing education programs.
