Endorsement License Procedures for Registered Nurse in New Hampshire

Before beginning the endorsement process, it is important to ensure that you meet the eligibility criteria set by the New Hampshire Board of Nursing (NHBON). To verify your eligibility, you can visit the NHBON website at [NHBON Website](https://www.nh.gov/nursing) and review the specific requirements for RN endorsement. It is crucial to have an active and unrestricted RN license in your current state of licensure.

Once you have confirmed your eligibility, the next step is to complete the endorsement application. You can find the application form on the NHBON website under the 'Applications' section. Make sure to carefully read and follow the instructions provided in the application form. Note that you may be required to provide documentation such as official transcripts, verification of licensure form, and a non-refundable application fee.

In order to endorse your RN license to New Hampshire, you will need to request verification of licensure from your current state of licensure. This can typically be done through their respective nursing board's website or by contacting them directly. Ensure that the verification is sent directly to NHBON in a sealed envelope or electronically as per their requirements. You may need to pay a processing fee to your current state of licensure for this service.

As part of the endorsement process, you will be required to undergo a criminal background check. This is to ensure patient safety and the integrity of the nursing profession. The NHBON website provides information on approved locations for fingerprinting and the necessary steps to complete the background check process. Please note that additional fees may apply for this process.

After submitting your endorsement application and supporting documents, you can check the status of your application on the NHBON website.
