Guide to Endorsement License Procedures for Registered Nurses in U.S. Virgin Islands

Before starting the endorsement license process, it's crucial to familiarize yourself with the requirements set by the U.S. Virgin Islands Board of Nurse Licensure (BVINL) for RNs. Carefully read their official guidelines on their website at [bvinl.org](https://www.bvinl.org) and ensure you meet all their criteria. It is also advisable to download and reference the official application form provided on their website.

To endorse your RN license, you will need to request verification of your original licensure from the state or territory where you are currently licensed. Visit the respective licensing body's website and download their verification form or contact them directly to initiate the process. Please note that fees may be involved, and processing times vary between states. Some relevant licensing bodies and their websites include:

- National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) at [www.ncsbn.org](https://www.ncsbn.org)
- California Board of Registered Nursing (BRN) at [www.rn.ca.gov](https://www.rn.ca.gov)
- Florida Board of Nursing at [floridasnursing.gov](https://floridasnursing.gov)

Now that you have gathered all the necessary documents, it's time to complete the BVINL application. Fill in the form accurately, ensuring all information is up to date. Be prepared to provide details such as your educational background, employment history, and professional references. Attach the verification of original licensure obtained in Step 2 to your application. If you have any questions or need assistance, reach out to the BVINL directly at their contact page located at [bvinl.org/contact](https://www.bvinl.org/contact).

After completing the BVINL application, double-check all the provided information for accuracy. Any incorrect or missing data may delay the endorsement process. Gather all the required supporting documents, such as proof of identity, transcripts, and additional certifications. Submit your application and supporting documents to the BVINL according to their instructions. Keep copies of all submitted materials for your records.

Once your application is submitted, you can stay updated on its status by visiting the BVINL website or contacting them directly. The endorsement process may take several weeks to complete, so it's essential to regularly check for any updates or requests for additional information. Patience is key during this stage.

Upon successful endorsement, the BVINL will issue your RN license for the U.S. Virgin Islands. You will be notified when your license is ready for collection or if it will be mailed to you. Congratulations on this significant achievement! Your RN license will open doors to exciting opportunities in this stunning Caribbean destination.
