What Will Your Next License Cost?
Plot your expansion from an existing NP license. Compare applications, verification, background checks and practice conditions in your next states.
For NPs who already hold at least one NP license and the required RN authority. First-time NP licensure information is limited and is not a complete starting-license plan. International education and special waivers require additional review. “Endorsement” is not a separate APRN fee category in every state.
51 of 51 jurisdictions have a documented standard application amount. This includes dated agency receipts for Colorado and Wisconsin. Application coverage does not mean every route or the full budget is priced.
AANPCB to state nursing boards: $0. This is certification verification for licensure. Expansion references: ANCC $40 for subsequent individual requests, PNCB $60 for additional requests, NCC $30 for direct email, and AACN free online primary-source verification. Review each line for free-request limits and receiving-board acceptance. For multiple certifications, enter their combined charge. Official Handbook
Existing Licenses Add yours to calculate outgoing verification fees
Add current and past licenses that a destination may ask you to verify. No license numbers are needed. RN verification defaults to Nursys at $30 per destination. APRN verification is a separate service; confirm what each receiving board accepts.
Requests are counted separately for each destination. Nursys RN requests are grouped by credential type. California direct-board RN and APRN requests are combined when both are selected. Review each destination’s required issuing states below; including every held license is a budgeting assumption, not a universal rule.
APRN Verification Outside Nursys 14 States
The Nursys participation tables list no APRN reporting for the states below, checked 2026-09-21. All 51 jurisdictions in this calculator report RN records to QuickConfirm; that does not establish acceptance of a particular verification service. QuickConfirm Table Endorsement Table
APRN reporting and paid RN endorsement verification are different. The other 37 jurisdictions report APRN records. NCSBN describes a database containing APRN records and a $30-per-license-type endorsement service. Nursys’s homepage and endorsement table indicate APRN support, but FAQ 56 says APRN endorsement verification is unavailable. Confirm the actual service and receiving-board acceptance before removing a separate charge. Nursys FAQ NCSBN Service Description Absence from APRN reporting does not automatically mean a fee, as Connecticut shows. If an accepted APRN report is included in your paid RN request or available free, enter $0 with that confirmation; no blanket APRN fee or free service is assumed.
| Issuing State | APRN Verification | Scope & Source |
|---|---|---|
| California | $100 | Direct BRN request includes RN and all California advanced-practice certifications, once per destination. Nursys RN-only verification does not include APRN. Fee Source |
| Colorado | Quote Needed | Request Colorado advanced-practice registry verification through DPO. Confirm whether the receiving board needs APN, RXN or both and whether one request covers them. A current direct-request price was not established from accessible official material. Fee Source |
| Connecticut | $0 | Connecticut DPH provides written verification without a fee for professions other than MD/DO, veterinarians, RN and LPN. Request the APRN credential through eLicense; the report is sent by mail. RN verification uses its separate route. Fee Source |
| Georgia | Quote Needed | Use the Secretary of State official license-verification request and GOALS fee schedule. The public request and fee portal could not be read during this review. Confirm the APRN or GAA credential, per-recipient price and any processing fee; no RN-only price is substituted. Fee Source |
| Hawaii | $15 | PVL official written license verification. Fee Source |
| Maryland | $45 | The official verification form explicitly includes Advanced Practice Certification and charges $45 per request. Send a separate form and fee for each verification; the board emails the receiving entity, or mails it if email is not accepted. RN endorsement verification ordinarily uses Nursys. Fee Source |
| Massachusetts | Quote Needed | Request verification of Massachusetts APRN authorization from the nursing board. Confirm credential scope, recipient delivery and the actual charge; a public RN lookup or Nursys RN payment does not establish the APRN price. Official source access was blocked during review. Fee Source |
| Nebraska | $25 | Budgets the certified, sealed license history ($25). A basic verification is $5; use it only if the receiving board accepts its limited contents. Fee Source |
| New Hampshire | $10 | Plc 1001.15: official letter of good standing or verification. Fee Source |
| New York | $20 | NYSED published fee chart (revision February 2021): certification of licensure $20. The separate written-verification service is $10. Confirm the current service/fee in the portal. Fee Source |
| Pennsylvania | $45 | Standard verification; with history is $50. Fee Source |
| South Carolina | $5 | Fee Source |
| Utah | $20 | DOPL FY2025-2026 schedule, Other Fees: verification of licensure / custodian of record $20. This is a dated published reference for July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026, not confirmation of a later fiscal-year price. Confirm the current portal amount. Fee Source |
| Wisconsin | Quote Needed | Request through DSPS Form 3083, now in AccessGov, revision May 6, 2026. It permits up to three receiving boards per form and describes 7 to 10 business days of processing. The inspected public form has no payment field or stated price; this does not establish a verified $0 fee. Fee Source |
RN endorsement verification through Nursys is $30 for each destination state. A separate APRN request may add a fee even when the same board issues both credentials. California’s direct-board request bundles its RN and advanced-practice records; the calculator counts that bundle once.

What This Budget Covers & How It Is Maintained
This is an expansion budget for a U.S. NP who already holds at least one NP license and the required RN authority. First-license information is supplementary and does not establish a complete initial-licensure pathway. It distinguishes published fees and rules, supplied official text, dated agency receipts, user-entered quotes, included charges, conditional charges and unresolved costs. Receipt references contain only amounts, credential purpose and dates; personal receipts are not published. State rules and population data are stored in the site; opening this page does not trigger a new source lookup.
Documented standard application amounts cover 51 jurisdictions, including DC. Of these, 2 use dated agency receipts; the other 49 use published or supplied official material. This covers at least one standard application route per jurisdiction, not every route or an all-inclusive budget. DC simultaneous RN/APRN pricing still needs confirmation. West Virginia budgets $125 for each required endorsement based on its separate application requirements; no combined discount is established.
Colorado receipts are dated November 13, 2025. Wisconsin receipts are dated July 30 and August 17, 2026, with transaction-specific convenience charges. Illinois uses applicant-supplied rule text, amendment effective January 4, 2021; the rule could not be independently retrieved. Its controlled-substance charge remains unresolved. New Jersey also has source-retrieval limitations; Massachusetts uses an indexed official fee, and New York outgoing certification uses a dated fee chart. Reconfirm current checkout amounts.
Additional official-source findings: Maryland direct APRN verification is $45 per request. Utah lists $20 in its FY2025-2026 schedule. Missouri fingerprint options distinguish the $47 IDEMIA bundle from $35 state/FBI mail processing plus local rolling and delivery. Maryland offers a route for a qualifying board check completed within 12 months. Select the matching route before comparing totals.
Fee review: 2026-09-21. Next editorial review: 2026-12-21. Variable fees, fee waivers, international credentials, additional specialties, temporary permits, translations, repeat applications and individualized board requests can change the result. Add applicable extras. Employer reimbursement does not change the board’s fee.
Ongoing renewal, CE, collaboration, malpractice and business operating costs are not included in this expansion subtotal. Use the requirements reference to assess the ongoing burden. Plans are held in this page while it is open; download your budget before leaving.
