Maine Licensure Information and Requirements

Licensure Requirements

Maine is a member of the nurse licensure compact (NLC). Any RN or LPN that has this multi-state license can work in their home state, as well as any compact state. 

As long as you maintain legal residency in a compact state, you’ll never have to worry about state-specific renewal requirements and fees, as long as you continue to work in other compact states.

These are the requirements for applying for licensure by endorsement in Maine:

  • Provide a current photo. 
  • Have a valid United States social security number.
  • Complete the electronic application. 
  • Provide proof of residency.
  • Complete a criminal background check.
  • Pay the non-refundable application fee of $75.00.
  • Provide verification of licensure through Nursys® or directly from the Board of Nursing in the state that does not participate in Nursys®.
  • Pass the NCLEX-RN.
  • Have a valid United States social security card.

Transcripts may be required on a case-by-case basis.

Licensure Fees

The fees for licensure by endorsement in Maine include: 

  • Application fee: $75 
  • Verification of licensure fee: $30
  • Background check: $52.50
