Which office or system should you use?
| Goal | Route | Why and what to prepare |
|---|---|---|
| Verify current license status | American Samoa License Verification | Use the reviewed American Samoa primary-source route to confirm legal name, credential, status, expiration and public restrictions. Search by license number when available and document the live American Samoa result date. |
| Renew or reactivate a license | American Samoa Renewal and Licensing Contact | American Samoa renewal eligibility, declarations and payments belong in the official account or renewal system. Follow this published timing: Use the license expiration and written Board instructions. |
| Check CE or continuing competence | NCSBN License Verification Guidance | American Samoa rules can differ by credential, first renewal, practice hours, mandatory topics or national certification. Review the exact requirement before buying coursework: A stable blanket CE total was not identified; request credential-specific requirements in writing. |
| Apply by endorsement | NCSBN License Verification Guidance | The American Samoa destination authority decides application eligibility, documents, fingerprints, fees and any temporary authority. For American Samoa, use Nursys when accepted; otherwise follow the authority’s direct verification instructions. |
| Use the account or transaction portal | American Samoa licensing or renewal portal | Authenticated American Samoa transactions and messages should occur only in the authority-named system. Confirm the browser domain is one of the reviewed official domains: www.americansamoa.gov. |
| Check complaints or public discipline | official complaint and discipline resource | License status and public discipline are separate questions in American Samoa. For American Samoa, open any public order or restriction linked by the authority; do not rely on social posts or an old screenshot. |
| Contact the licensing authority | American Samoa Health Services Regulatory Board | For American Samoa, use the responsible office for a missing document, status discrepancy, credential routing or application message. Call 684-633-1222 with the credential, license or application number available; do not email sensitive documents unless given a secure route. |
| Use national verification or monitoring | Nursys QuickConfirm / e-Notify when accepted | Nursys can support participating-board national verification, endorsement verification and monitoring, but the American Samoa authority remains the source for local requirements. American Samoa is recorded as a non-compact jurisdiction. A nurse normally needs the license or other authority required by American Samoa; an out-of-state compact license should not be assumed to replace that requirement. |
