If you have a multi-state nursing license, you’re in luck. North Dakota is a compact state, and you will not need to apply for a North Dakota nursing license if you already have a multi-state nursing license.
If your primary state of residence is not part of the Nurse Licensure Compact, you must meet the following requirements for licensure by endorsement:

If you need verification from one of these states, print the Verification of Licensure form. Complete the top section and forward the form to the state you are needing verification from. Contact the state for fee information, as most states charge a fee for completing a verification form.
