Does a Guam nursing license work in other states?

No. Guam is not a compact state, so a Guam license authorizes practice in Guam only. To work elsewhere you generally need that state's license or a multistate license from a compact home state.

Where is the official Guam nursing license verification?

Nursys QuickConfirm (nursys.com) is the national system; the Guam Board of Nurse Examiners is the official state authority. CompactStates.com is an independent guide and is not a verification service.

How to verify a nursing license in Guam

Verifying a nursing license in Guam 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 Guam?

Look the license up on Nursys QuickConfirm, the national verification system, and confirm details with the Guam Board of Nurse Examiners. Guam is not a compact state, so a Guam license is single-state — valid in Guam 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 Guam Board of Nurse Examiners

For anything Nursys does not show — or to confirm official requirements — go to the Guam Board of Nurse Examiners. The board is the authority on Guam 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 Guam Board of Nurse Examiners.
Remember a Guam license is valid in Guam only.
