Arizona State Board of Nursing licensure information |
|
All nurses must have a
current Arizona license or an Arizona temporary permit to practice in the
state of Arizona. Applications for licensure must be obtained from:
Arizona
State Board of Nursing
1651 East Morten Avenue #150
Phoenix, AZ 85020
602-331-8111
It is preferable that the nurse complete the application process before
arrival in Arizona. An offer of employment will not be made without
verification of a valid Arizona temporary nursing permit or permanent
license.
Credentials needed to process licensure:
1. Current nursing license from another state. A photocopy is
acceptable. If no current license, submission of a verification record of
inactive status will be acceptable.
You will still be expected to contact your current state of licensure
board and pay a fee for them to send written verification to the Arizona
Board.
2. The application fee for Arizona must be in the form of a money
order or cashier’s check made payable to the Arizona State Board of
Nursing.
3. A black and white photo, 2 x 2, and not over one year old must
be submitted with application.
Temporary Permits:
A temporary permit can be issued to nurses who have applied for licensure
in Arizona and have met the application criteria. There is a fee for the
temporary permit in addition to the fee for applying for permanent
licensure. This fee can be paid at the same time the application is made
for licensure. The process for approval for a temporary permit takes ten
business days.
Note:
This list of instructions is not comprehensive & you should refer to the
written instructions from the Arizona State Board.
