Utah Nursing Licensing

The Utah Board of Nursing is responsible for licensing Registered Nurses (RNs) and Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) in the state.

Utah is a member of the Nurse Licensure Compact (NLC). Under the NLC:

  • Nurses who hold a multistate license issued by another NLC member state can practice in Utah without applying for additional licensure.
  • If a nurse moves to Utah and declares it as their primary state of residence, they must apply for a Utah multistate license.

Licensure Application Requirements:

  • ERES Nursing License Evaluation
  • If nursing courses and textbooks were not taught in English, you must provide proof of English language proficiency by submitting results from one of the following exams:
    • IELTS Academic- computer or paper-based
    • TOEFL iBT produced by Educational Testing Service (ETS)
    • Test of English for International Communication (TOEIC)
    • Pearson Test of English Academic (PTE)
    • Michigan English Language Assessment Battery (MELAB)
    • Michigan English Test (MET)
    • Occupational English Test (OET)

Important Notice:

State Boards of Nursing may change their requirements at any time. We always strive to keep our information updated but consult the respective Board for confirmation is strongly recommended.
