North Dakota Licensure Information and Requirements
For the latest up-to-date information on licensure requirements and fees, visit the North Dakota Board of Nursing website or contact the North Dakota Board of Nursing licensing division at 1-701-328-9777.
Licensure Requirements
If you have a multi-state nursing license, you’re in luck. North Dakota is a compact state, so you will not need to apply for a North Dakota 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:
- Have a valid United States Social Security Number.
- Complete a nursing program to prepare you for the level of licensure sought, and one that included supervised clinical experience across the life span.

To submit verification of licensure status, access NursysⓇ to complete the electronic verification process. Choose NursysⓇ Licensure Verification on the far right in green. We will check this website for your verification upon receipt of your application. The following states do not participate in the NursysⓇ verification process: CA-LPN, MI, PA. 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.
- Provide official transcripts from your basic education program. Request your college to send the official transcript of your grades with the degree posted directly to the ND Board of Nursing office.
- Complete a Criminal History Record Check and fingerprinting.
A 90-day, non-renewable temporary permit is issued to applicants if a portion of the initial requirements listed in items 1-4 under “To Apply” are received in the Board Office.
