Minnesota Board of Nursing: official resources

Everything official for nursing licensure in Minnesota, in one place — the board of nursing, license verification, endorsement, renewal, and compact status, each linking to the authoritative source.

What is the official Minnesota board of nursing?

The Minnesota Board of Nursing is the official state authority for nursing licensure in Minnesota — it issues and renews licenses, handles licensure by endorsement, and makes every licensure decision. Its website is mn.gov/boards/nursing. Minnesota is not currently a Nurse Licensure Compact state, which shapes what the board can issue. Use the board for anything official; use Nursys to verify an individual license. CompactStates.com is an independent guide, not the board.

The official board

Minnesota nursing licensure is regulated by the Minnesota Board of Nursing. That is where applications, renewals, endorsement, and official forms live. Requirements and fees are board-set and change, so we point you to the official site rather than list figures that could go stale.
