Costs that may be separate
Background checks
Fingerprint or criminal-background vendor charges may be separate from the board application fee and may vary by submission method or location.
Education documents
Schools, transcript services, credential evaluators and English-proficiency testing providers may charge separately.
License verification
Nursys or another verification service may charge per credential or destination when endorsement verification is required.
Late or status-specific fees
Late renewal, inactive conversion, reinstatement, temporary permits and payment processing may have separate charges.
How to pay safely
- Open the payment route from the official authority website or a source-reviewed link.
- Confirm the credential and transaction before entering card information.
- Check whether additional portal or vendor charges appear before final submission.
- Save the receipt and transaction reference.
- Verify the final license status after processing; a receipt alone is not active authority.
Fees can change after the review date. NursingLicenseBoards.com never accepts licensing payments or portal passwords.
