Montana Nursing License Guide
Registered nurses who do not have an NLC multistate license but hold a current nursing license in another state or U.S. territory can apply for licensure by credentialing, also known as licensure by endorsement, through the Montana Board of Nursing. First-time licensees would apply for licensure by examination.
Applying For Your Montana Nurse License
Applicants for a Montana nursing license by endorsement must submit:
- Completed license application, either submitted online or printed from the website and mailed to the Montana Board of Nursing;
- Payment of $200 fee for RN license by endorsement;
- License verification from the state or territory in which the applicant currently holds an active nursing license in good standing, or has ever held a nursing license. If the state is part of NURSYS, a verification must be through this system; otherwise, a verification must come from the licensing source;
- Documentation, including jurisdiction and date, of any previous professional license denial or withdrawal of application;
- Fingerprints for the purpose of a fingerprint and background check;
- Official final transcript from applicant’s nursing education program, if not verified through NURSYS.

Is Montana Apart of the Nurse Licensure Compact?
Montana participates in the Nurse Licensure Compact (NLC), also called the Enhanced Nurse Licensure Compact (eNLC), which allows RNs or LPNs to have one multistate nursing license. If you hold a multistate license in a compact state, issued by your primary state of residency, you can practice in any of the other compact member states—including Montana.
