Endorsement License Procedures for Registered Nurses in Connecticut

To initiate the endorsement license application, visit the Connecticut Board of Examiners for Nursing (CBEN) website at [CBEN Website](https://portal.ct.gov/DPH/Practitioner-Licensing--Investigations/Nursing). On their website, you will find the necessary forms and instructions to start your application. Remember to carefully review the requirements and eligibility criteria before proceeding to the next step.

To ensure a smooth application process, make sure to gather all the required documents and information. These typically include:

1. Proof of identification (e.g., passport, driver's license)
2. Proof of legal presence in the United States (e.g., U.S. birth certificate, permanent resident card)
3. Official transcripts from your nursing education program
4. Verification of licensure from your home state (if applicable)
5. Verification of any previous or current licenses held in other states

It's essential to cross-check the specific requirements on the CBEN website to avoid any delays or missing documents during the review process.

Once you have gathered all the necessary documents, proceed to complete the online application through the eLicense portal. The CBEN website will provide a direct link to the portal. Make sure to enter all the requested information accurately and completely. Take your time and double-check the details to avoid any errors or discrepancies.

To process your endorsement license application, you will be required to pay the application fee. The current fee structure can be found on the CBEN website. Please note that TLC Travel Staff does not quote specific cost information, as fees may change over time. You can visit the CBEN website for the most up-to-date fee details.

To complete your application, you must arrange for the verification of your nursing education program to be sent directly from the issuing institution to CBEN.
