RN license transfer, renewal & continuing ed

Each state needs a competent medical workforce to meet the needs of its citizens. However, the requirements for some healthcare professions are not the same in each state. That is why it is important to find out what is required of you as a future or current registered nurse before moving across state lines. Contact information is located at the bottom of this page.

Endorsements

Colorado is a compact state. If you are moving to Colorado or claiming it as your primary state of residence, you will need to apply for licensure by endorsement in order to use your license in Colorado. General instructions are listed below.

• Complete application and submit a $43 endorsement application fee.
• Provide proof of passing NCLEX results.
• Submit proof of graduation from an approved nursing program.
• Submit license verification either through the Nursys system or, if your state does not participate, by contacting the Colorado Board of Nursing for verification instructions.

Foreign-educated nurses must submit the CES Professional report from the Commission on Graduates of Foreign Nursing Schools (CGFNS).

All RN licenses expire on September 30 of an odd or even-numbered year, depending on when your license was issued. To renew your license, visit the Colorado Department of Regulatory Agencies website.

For application resources, see the Colorado Board of Nursing Applications and Forms page.
