Portal and account safety

• For Indiana, open public status checks through Indiana Free Search and Verify; use MyLicense One only for account or transaction work.
• The reviewed Indiana renewal timing is Biennial. RN licenses expire October 31 of odd-numbered years; verify the exact expiration shown for the credential.
• Before payment, match the exact credential (LPN, RN, APRN) and compare the displayed charge with this source-reviewed summary: Indiana lists a $50 RN/LPN renewal fee. Confirm the amount in the current transaction.
• Use only reviewed authority domains (www.in.gov); avoid search advertisements and look-alike renewal or verification pages.
• If the Indiana portal does not show the expected option, check credential type, current status and renewal window before creating a second account or paying again.
• For unresolved account or routing issues, contact Indiana State Board of Nursing at (317) 234-2043 and keep the confirmation number, date and staff response.
• After any transaction, return to Indiana Free Search and Verify and verify the public record; a receipt by itself is not practice authority.

Renewal requirements and cautions

• APRN prescriptive authority has separate continuing-education requirements.
• A compact privilege is not a substitute for updating the primary state of residence after a permanent move.
• Renewal timing differs by credential.

CE or competence connection

Indiana does not require a generic CE-hour total for routine RN or LPN renewal. An APRN with prescriptive authority must meet applicable pharmacology and continuing-education requirements.

• No general RN/LPN CE hours for routine renewal.
• APRN prescriptive authority: confirm the current 30-hour requirement and pharmacology component.
• Maintain national certification when required.

Common renewal problems

Fraud and privacy safety

• Begin every Indiana transaction from a reviewed authority domain (www.in.gov) or a source-reviewed link on this guide.
• Do not give a caller payment-card details, a password or a one-time code merely because the caller claims to represent Indiana State Board of Nursing.
• If threatened with immediate suspension or arrest, end the call and verify the issue through (317) 234-2043 or the secure Indiana account.
• Use Indiana Free Search and Verify to confirm current status rather than a private lookup page or emailed screenshot.
• Upload identity, background, education or legal documents only through a secure method explicitly named by Indiana State Board of Nursing.
• Before paying, verify the credential, transaction and amount against the current Indiana instructions; save the receipt and then verify the public record.
• For Indiana, report a suspected licensing impersonation or phishing attempt to the authority and the relevant consumer-protection or law-enforcement channel.
