Which office or system should you use?
| Goal | Route | Why and what to prepare |
|---|---|---|
| Verify current license status | Guam License Verification | Use the reviewed Guam primary-source route to confirm legal name, credential, status, expiration and public restrictions. Search by license number when available and document the live Guam result date. |
| Renew or reactivate a license | Guam Renewal Portal | Guam renewal eligibility, declarations and payments belong in the official account or renewal system. Follow this published timing: RN/LPN/APRN generally renew by September 30; portal opens about three months before expiration. |
| Check CE or continuing competence | NCSBN License Verification Guidance | Guam rules can differ by credential, first renewal, practice hours, mandatory topics or national certification. Review the exact requirement before buying coursework: RN/LPN/APRN: 30 CE hours; APRN prescribers include 5 pharmacology hours; CNA: 15 hours. |
| Apply by endorsement | Guam Licensure Applications | The Guam destination authority decides application eligibility, documents, fingerprints, fees and any temporary authority. For Guam, use Nursys when accepted; otherwise follow the authority’s direct verification instructions. |
| Use the account or transaction portal | Guam Renewal Portal | Authenticated Guam transactions and messages should occur only in the authority-named system. Confirm the browser domain is one of the reviewed official domains: guamhplo.org, gbne.boardsofnursing.org. |
| Check complaints or public discipline | official complaint and discipline resource | License status and public discipline are separate questions in Guam. For Guam, open any public order or restriction linked by the authority; do not rely on social posts or an old screenshot. |
| Contact the licensing authority | Guam Board of Nurse Examiners | For Guam, use the responsible office for a missing document, status discrepancy, credential routing or application message. Call (671) 735-7408/7409 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 Guam authority remains the source for local requirements. Guam has enacted compact participation but implementation is recorded as pending. Do not treat an ordinary Guam license as multistate until the responsible authority confirms operational implementation and the public record shows multistate authority. |
