How to read the result
| Field | Meaning | Avoid this mistake |
|---|---|---|
| American Samoa credential type | Confirm the exact credential among RN, LPN; the same person may hold more than one license, approval, certificate or permit. | For American Samoa, treating an RN result as proof of APRN, assistant, certificate, permit or prescriptive authority. |
| Current status | Read the exact status wording published by American Samoa Health Services Regulatory Board, including active, inactive, expired, lapsed, probationary, suspended, revoked or restricted. | For American Samoa, assuming that a record appearing in search means the person may currently practice. |
| Expiration / renewal timing | Confirm directly with the Regulatory Board. Use the license expiration and written Board instructions. | For American Samoa, using a wallet card, employer roster or old screenshot instead of the live record. |
| Multistate designation | 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. | For American Samoa, assuming compact membership automatically makes every license multistate or survives a permanent residence move. |
| Public discipline or restrictions | Review public orders or restrictions linked by American Samoa Health Services Regulatory Board, American Samoa official license verification or Nursys when applicable. | Checking only expiration while ignoring conditions that limit practice. |
| Verification date | The result supports a decision as of the date it was checked. Record the live American Samoa verification date. | For American Samoa, reusing an undated or stale printout for a new employment or credentialing decision. |
