A Comprehensive Guide to Nurse Practitioner Endorsement License Procedures in New Hampshire

Before proceeding with the endorsement license procedure, it is crucial to ensure you meet the eligibility criteria set by the New Hampshire Board of Nursing (NHBON).

Once you have determined your eligibility, the next step is to gather the necessary documentation. Common documents required during the endorsement license application process may include:

Obtain official transcripts from your NP program, ensuring they are sent directly to the NHBON. Details on the submission process can be found on the [NHBON Transcripts](https://www.nh.gov/nursing/licensure/applications/transcripts.html) page.

Request verification of your current NP license from the state or territory in which you are currently licensed. Most licensing bodies have an online verification portal. Refer to your current licensing body's website for specific instructions.
