Where and when to renew

The reviewed route is North Dakota official licensing portal. Renew before the expiration shown in the Board record.

1. Confirm the credential and expiration date.
2. Review the current credential-specific requirements.
3. Complete required competence or education.
4. Submit the official renewal and payment.
5. Verify the updated license record.

Portal and account safety

• For North Dakota, open public status checks through North Dakota License Verification; use North Dakota Renewal Portal only for account or transaction work.
• The reviewed North Dakota renewal timing is Two years. Renew before the expiration shown in the Board record.
• Before payment, match the exact credential (RN, LPN, APRN, UAP) and compare the displayed charge with this source-reviewed summary: LPN $130; RN $140; APRN $220; APRN with prescriptive authority $295.
• Use only reviewed authority domains (www.ndbon.org); avoid search advertisements and look-alike renewal or verification pages.
• If the North Dakota 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 North Dakota Board of Nursing at (701) 751-3000 and keep the confirmation number, date and staff response.
• After any transaction, return to North Dakota License Verification and verify the public record; a receipt by itself is not practice authority.

Common renewal problems

Fraud and privacy safety

• Begin every North Dakota transaction from a reviewed authority domain (www.ndbon.org) 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 North Dakota Board of Nursing.
• If threatened with immediate suspension or arrest, end the call and verify the issue through (701) 751-3000 or the secure North Dakota account.
• Use North Dakota License Verification 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 North Dakota Board of Nursing.
• Before paying, verify the credential, transaction and amount against the current North Dakota instructions; save the receipt and then verify the public record.
• For North Dakota, report a suspected licensing impersonation or phishing attempt to the authority and the relevant consumer-protection or law-enforcement channel.
