Colorado Licensure Information and Requirements

For the most up-to-date information about Colorado licensure information and requirements, visit the Colorado Board of Nursing website.

Licensure Requirements

Since Colorado is a compact state, nurses with a multi-state license can practice nursing within the state without applying for a Colorado nursing license. 

Nurses who do not have a multi-state license will need to apply for licensure by endorsement. 

RNs and LPNs applying for licensure by endorsement must: 

  • Submit fingerprint and background check.
  • Submit payment of the required application fee via credit card. All fees are non-refundable and non-transferable.
  • Supply information detailing your nursing degree education.
  • Provide information regarding other healthcare licenses you may have held.
  • Provide license verification information.
  • Upload name change documentation, if applicable.
  • Declare your primary state of residence.
  • Answer general and criminal history screening questions and upload supporting documentation.
  • Complete the Healthcare Professions Profile, including uploading supporting documentation.
  • Provide the dates of your initial licensing exam.
  • Provide verification of all licenses held — if your state does not participate in Nursys®, you must fill out, send, and submit a Request for Verification form. 

APRNs applying for licensure by endorsement must: 

  • Submit payment of the required application fee via credit card. All fees are non-refundable and non-transferable.
  • Provide information regarding other healthcare licenses you may have held.
  • Upload verification of your National Certification
  • Select your population focus. You must upload additional national certification(s) that correlate with each population focus if you declare multiple populations.
  • Declare your primary state of residence (PSOR).
  • Attest to holding professional liability insurance.

Additionally, if you are an APRN and hold an active Compact-Multi State RN license, you must: 

  • Submit verification of your Compact license — via Nursys® or a Request for Verification form. 
  • Upload name change documentation, if applicable.
  • Answer general and criminal history screening questions and upload supporting documentation.
  • Complete the Healthcare Professions Profile, including uploading supporting documentation.

During the beginning of the COVID pandemic, temporary licenses were issued, but a majority of those expired at the end of 2020 and there is not a current process for obtaining a temporary license.

Licensure Fees

All licensure fees must be paid by check or money order. 

RNs and LPNs applying for endorsement in Colorado must pay a $70 application fee. APRNs must pay an additional $44 application fee. If you are an APRN who needs prescriptive authority in the state of Colorado, there is an additional $89 fee. 

Nurse Licensure Compact Status
