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 Connecticut Board of Examiners for Nursing
For anything Nursys does not show — or to confirm official requirements — go to the Connecticut Board of Examiners for Nursing. The board is the authority on Connecticut licensure; we do not make licensure determinations.
Could a Connecticut license be multistate?
Only if it was issued or upgraded on or after October 1, 2025 — the date the Connecticut Board of Examiners for Nursing began issuing multistate licenses to Connecticut residents. A license issued before then was single-state when granted, so a nurse holding an older Connecticut license who has never upgraded will still verify as single-state no matter how long they have been licensed here.
Beyond Nursys, Connecticut publishes its own primary-source lookup: Connecticut eLicense verification. Where the two disagree, the issuing board controls.
What trips people up in Connecticut: Connecticut is the second state, with Florida, where the state’s own licensing portal is not the nursing route. eLicense covers Connecticut’s professions generally, but DPH directs employers and the public to Nursys for RN and LPN verification specifically — the department even maintains a page for verifying professions OTHER than MD, DO, RN and LPN, which is the tell. Nurses checking their own status log into eLicense; employers checking someone else’s should start at Nursys. Written verification is a separate request again, not the online result.
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.
