Endorsement License Procedures for Registered Nurse in Kansas

Before applying for an endorsement license, make sure you meet the eligibility requirements set by the Kansas State Board of Nursing (KSBN). Visit the KSBN website at [https://www.ksbn.kansas.gov](https://www.ksbn.kansas.gov) to review the specific criteria and gather the necessary documents.

To start the endorsement license application process, submit the online application through the KSBN's online portal. Navigate to the registration portal at [https://www.ksbn.kansas.gov/online-license-service](https://www.ksbn.kansas.gov/online-license-service) and create an account. Follow the prompts to complete the application, ensuring all required fields are accurately filled.

Contact the nursing regulatory body in the state where you currently hold your RN license and request verification of your licensure. The verification should be sent directly to the KSBN. You can find contact information for each state's nursing regulatory body on the National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) website at [https://www.ncsbn.org/contact-bon.htm](https://www.ncsbn.org/contact-bon.htm).

Gather all supporting documents required by the KSBN, including your official transcripts from your nursing education program. Ensure the documents are properly notarized, signed, and sealed. Refer to the KSBN's website for a detailed list of required documents.

Submit the applicable application fee to the KSBN. The fee amount can be found on the KSBN's website or in their licensing fee schedule. Online payment options are available through the registration portal mentioned earlier.

Once your application, supporting documents, and payment have been received, the KSBN will evaluate your credentials. This process may take several weeks, so we recommend checking the KSBN's website for updates on their current processing times.

Depending on your specific circumstances, you may be required to complete additional requirements such as a criminal background check or fingerprinting. Detailed information on these requirements can be found on the KSBN's website.

Once your application has been approved, you will receive your endorsement license from the KSBN. Congratulations! You are now eligible to practice nursing as an RN in the state of Kansas.
