2. Proof of current and active registered nurse license in your home state.

3. Transcripts from your nursing education program.

To endorse your nursing license to Utah, you need to request license verification from every state where you currently hold or have held a nursing license. Contact each state's nursing board or licensing agency to obtain the required verification forms. The process may involve filling out forms, providing payment, and submitting them to the respective state boards. Please note that some states may require you to request verification through the Nursys online verification system, while others may have different procedures. Gather all completed verification forms and keep them ready for submission.
