Montana Licensure Information and Requirements
For the most up-to-date information regarding licensure requirements and fees, visit the Montana Board of Nursing website or contact the Montana Board of Nursing at (406) 444-6880.
Licensure Requirements
Do you currently hold a nursing license from a compact state? If you answered yes, you’re in luck. Montana is a compact state, so you will not have to obtain a Montana RN or LPN license to start traveling nursing in the state. The facility you’re contracted with will verify your compact license.
However, if you plan to make Montana your primary state of residence, or do not hold a license from a compact state. you will need to apply for a license in Montana.
For advanced practice nurses, Montana does require you to apply for licensure by endorsement.
To obtain a Montana nursing license by endorsement, LPNs and RNs need to meet the following requirements:
- Provide verification of your nursing license. Photocopies of your license do not count as official verification and should not be included in your application.
- Documentation of any previous professional licenses, license denials, or withdrawal of applications.
- If the state is part of Nursys® verification must be through Nursys®.
- For states that do not participate with the Nursys® database or for verifications of non-nursing licensure, you will need to request verification directly from the Board that issued your license.
- Submit fingerprints for a background check to the Montana Department of Justice per the instructions on the application packet.
- Submit a Non-Criminal Notice of Applicants Rights form.
- You must have completed all educational requirements of an approved nursing education program.
Routine applications can take 30 days from the date the Board office receives all required documentation to be processed. In Montana, nurses are not permitted to practice nursing in any manner without an active Montana license or a multistate privilege to practice from another compact state.
APRNs must meet the following requirements when applying for endorsement:
- Possess a current Montana RN license or current multistate RN license from an NLC state.
- Have your official transcript sent from the advanced nursing educational program directly to the Montana Board of Nursing.
- Request official verification of RN/APRN licensure from all jurisdictions from the preceding two years.
- Provide proof of national certification in the APRN role.
- Any additional requirements regarding prescriptive authority can be found on the Montana Board of Nursing website.
Licensure Fees
Application fees for licensure by endorsement include a $200 application fee.
If you are using a local (to you) law enforcement office to complete your fingerprinting, use a manila envelope to send the fingerprint card, and a check or money order in the amount of $30 to the “Montana Department of Justice.”
