Multistate/Compact License

Registered nurses (RNs) and licensed practical/vocational nurses (LPN/VNs) residing in a compact state and meeting the uniform licensure requirements may qualify for a multistate license. The application for a multistate license should be submitted via your Board of Nursing (BON). You can access multistate licensure applications on your BON's website

This includes applications for:

• License by Exam (new graduates seeking to take NCLEX)

• License by Endorsement (when you need a license in another state; "transferring your license")

• Renewal

• Upgrading/converting a single state license into a multistate/compact license

• License for graduates of an international nursing program
