Endorsement License Procedures for Nurse Practitioner in California

Before initiating the endorsement license procedure, it is important to ensure that you meet the eligibility requirements set by the California Board of Registered Nursing (BRN). To verify your eligibility, please visit the official BRN website [**here**](https://www.rn.ca.gov/).

To expedite the endorsement license process, make sure you have the necessary documents readily available. The required documents typically include:

1. Proof of identification (e.g., valid passport or driver's license).
2. Social Security number.
3. Official transcripts from your nursing education program.
4. Verification of current and active licensure from your original state of licensure.

For a complete list of required documents, visit the BRN's endorsement application page [**here**](https://www.rn.ca.gov/endors.shtml).

To initiate the endorsement license procedure, submit your application through the BRN's online application portal. The online application form can be accessed [**here**](https://www.breeze.ca.gov/datamart/loginCADCA.do). Please ensure that you provide accurate and complete information to avoid delays in processing.

As part of the endorsement license procedure, you will be required to pay the necessary fees. The fee schedule can be found on the BRN's fee page [**here**](https://www.rn.ca.gov/fees.shtml). Please note that fees are subject to change, so it is recommended to refer to the official BRN website for the most up-to-date information.

In order to ensure patient safety, Nurse Practitioners in California are required to undergo a fingerprinting and background check. This process helps verify your criminal history record. Information on how to complete the fingerprinting and background check can be found on the BRN's fingerprinting page [**here**](https://www.rn.ca.gov/fingerprints.shtml).

Once your application, fees, and fingerprinting/background check have been successfully processed, the BRN will review your application and verify your credentials. The issuance of your endorsement license will be communicated through email or mail. For updates on the status of your application, you can check the BRN's application status page [**here**](https://www.rn.ca.gov/status.shtml).
