Applicants Currently Licensed in Another State - Endorsement Information
SPECIAL NOTE: If you are currently licensed in another state, you can apply for your licensure in Nevada by "endorsement." With the application, the Board will need to verify any current and / or past licenses you have had. The majority of states now provide "primary source" verifications directly from their websites and the Board can gather that information.
If you are, or have been licensed in the following states, you will need to contact that state and request a written license verification be sent to the Board directly - Alaska, Arizona, California, District of Columbia, Kansas, Kentucky, Mississippi, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, Utah or West Virginia. This verification can be mailed to the Board or sent by email to slowery@besw.nv.gov.
