How do I verify my Michigan RN or LPN license to another state?

Effective October 3, 2011, Michigan's nursing licensure program utilizes NURSYS® electronic license verification system. Michigan licensed RNs and LPNs who are applying for licensure in another state should contact Nursys at www.nursys.com to have their Michigan license verified. A fee will be charged for that verification. If you have questions about Nursys, please contact them toll free at (866) 819-1700.

If you hold a Michigan RN license and a specialty license (Nurse Practitioner, Nurse Midwife or Nurse Anesthetist), you must obtain your verification from the Michigan Board of Nursing. You may submit your request in writing to LARA/BHP, Verifications, PO Box 30670, Lansing, MI 48909 along with the $15.00 fee (check or money order payable to State of Michigan) for certification processing. Include your name as it appears on your license, license number and the name and address of the state board to which the certification should be sent. Normal processing time is 20-30 business days.
