How to verify a nursing license in American Samoa

Verifying a nursing license in American Samoa takes two trusted sources: Nursys and the state board. Here is how, and what the result tells you.

How do I verify a nursing license in American Samoa?

Look the license up on Nursys QuickConfirm, the national verification system, and confirm details with the American Samoa Health Services Regulatory Board. American Samoa is not a compact state, so an American Samoa license is single-state — valid in American Samoa only. Nursys will confirm its status and expiration.

What Nursys shows

Nursys QuickConfirm reports the license type (single-state or multistate), current status, and expiration for participating boards. It is the fastest way to confirm whether a license carries compact privilege.

Checking with the American Samoa Health Services Regulatory Board

For anything Nursys does not show — or to confirm official requirements — go to the American Samoa Health Services Regulatory Board. The board is the authority on American Samoa licensure; we do not make licensure determinations.

RN, LPN/LVN, and APRN

Verification works the same for RN and LPN/VN licenses. APRN authority is separate and verified per state — see APRN and the compact.

Next-step checklist

  • Look the license up on Nursys QuickConfirm (nursys.com).
  • Note whether it reads single-state or multistate.
  • Confirm anything unclear with the American Samoa Health Services Regulatory Board.
  • Remember an American Samoa license is valid in American Samoa only.
