Which office or system should you use?
| Goal | Route | Why and what to prepare |
|---|---|---|
| Verify current license status | Utah License Verification | Use the reviewed Utah primary-source route to confirm legal name, credential, status, expiration and public restrictions. Search by license number when available and document the live Utah result date. |
| Renew or reactivate a license | DOPL Renewal Guide | Utah renewal eligibility, declarations and payments belong in the official account or renewal system. Follow this published timing: RN: January 31 in odd-numbered years. LPN: January 31 in even-numbered years. |
| Check CE or continuing competence | Utah RN/LPN Renewal | Utah rules can differ by credential, first renewal, practice hours, mandatory topics or national certification. Review the exact requirement before buying coursework: During the preceding two years, complete 400 practice hours, or 200 practice hours plus 15 approved CE hours, or 30 approved CE hours. |
| Apply by endorsement | Apply for RN/LPN License | The Utah destination authority decides application eligibility, documents, fingerprints, fees and any temporary authority. Nursys for participating jurisdictions or direct verification as DOPL instructs. |
| Use the account or transaction portal | Utah My License One | Authenticated Utah transactions and messages should occur only in the authority-named system. Confirm the browser domain is one of the reviewed official domains: commerce.utah.gov, secure.utah.gov. |
| Check complaints or public discipline | official complaint and discipline resource | License status and public discipline are separate questions in Utah. For Utah, open any public order or restriction linked by the authority; do not rely on social posts or an old screenshot. |
| Contact the licensing authority | Utah Division of Professional Licensing — Nursing | For Utah, use the responsible office for a missing document, status discrepancy, credential routing or application message. Call (801) 530-6628 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 Utah authority remains the source for local requirements. Utah is recorded as an operational Nurse Licensure Compact jurisdiction in this dataset. Verify that the individual public record is actually designated multistate and that the nurse maintains Utah or another qualifying compact state as the primary state of residence. |
