Verification Request Forms

You may use the appropriate form below to request a verification of licensure from an international jurisdiction or from a state that DOES NOT participate in electronic verifications via Nursys such as Alabama, California, Pennsylvania, and Michigan.  Alternatively, you may be able to request a verification by contacting these states directly such on their website.  When using one of these forms you must also include the correct payment and mail it to the appropriate licensing authority for completion.  Once completed it will be mailed from the licensing authority directly to the Texas Board of Nursing.  Allow up to 10 business days from our receipt of the verification for our system to be updated.
