How to Apply for a Nursing License in Alabama

AL is Part of the Licensure Compact

  • A completed online application beginning here with a $100 fee paid by debit or credit card, plus a small processing fee
  • Proof of U.S. citizenship or legal residency
  • Graduation from a nursing program that meets the same educational criteria as Alabama nursing programs; official transcripts should be sent directly from your school to the Alabama Board of Nursing (ABN)
  • 24 contact hours of continuing education earned within the past 24 months
  • Verification of current RN licensure: most states use the Nursys System to verify licenses electronically.
  • If your state of licensure does not participate in Nursys, you’ll need to send the verification form to the state and request verification be sent directly to the Al Board of Nursing
