CompactStates

Official nursing resource finder

One place to reach the right official source. Pick a state and a task — verify a license, find the board, apply by endorsement, renew, move, travel, telehealth — and get the official link, the state’s compact status, a next-step checklist, and the matching CompactStates research.

Deterministic and private: nothing you select is a personal record, and we never ask for a name, license number, or email. Results route you to the official source.

Official Nursing Resource Finder

Pick a jurisdiction and a task to get the official source, your compact status, a next-step checklist, and the right CompactStates guidance — in one place.

How the finder works

The finder is deterministic: every result comes from fixed rules over our published, source-backed jurisdiction data — the same data behind the compact states list, map, and every state page. It does not guess and it does not use AI at runtime. For anything a board controls — fees, CE hours, renewal cycles, processing times — it links you to the official source rather than repeating figures that go stale.

For a plan tailored to a specific move or assignment across two states, use the mobility planner; to test whether two states connect under the compact, use the compact state checker.

About this tool

A free tool that routes you to the right official source for a nursing-licensure task in any U.S. state or territory. Choose a jurisdiction and a task — verify a license, find the board, apply by endorsement, renew, move, take a travel assignment, telehealth, and more — and it returns the official board or Nursys link, the state’s current compact status, a next-step checklist, and the matching CompactStates guidance. It uses fixed rules over published data, not AI, and never makes a personal licensure determination.
