Why verification matters
Living in a compact state doesn’t guarantee your license is multistate — you might hold a single-state license for several reasons. Compact privilege only works with a multistate license, so checking removes the guesswork.
- Confirms single-state vs multistate status.
- Shows whether the license is active and unencumbered.
- Lets employers and boards verify you too.
How to verify your license
Go to Nursys QuickConfirm and search by your name and license details. If something looks wrong, contact your state board of nursing — find it on any state page.
What to do if your license is single-state
If you’re in a compact state but your license is single-state, contact your board about converting it to multistate. Learn more in the multistate license guide.
