Nurse Practitioner Licensure Forms and Letters
We greatly encourage you to review your State Board of Nursing’s entire NP licensure application and all the instructions before requesting any documentation. Some state boards will require documentation to verify your education in addition to an official transcript. These documents are either forms provided by the board, or a letter which Walden will create.
There are two types of verification that boards typically request: 1) verification of the degree, and 2) verification of pharmacology coursework.
The chart below shows which forms and letters Walden typically completes for each state. If “Not applicable” is listed for your state, that means that to our knowledge documentation in additional to an official transcript is not required.
Boards occasionally revise their application processes. If your board is asking for documentation that is different from what is listed here, or if the links provided are broken, please email nurslicensure@mail.waldenu.edu, and include a link to the Board website that includes information about that documentation.
Notes for all documentation requests: Do not submit a request until you have completed all program coursework. We cannot verify course and program completion until final grades are posted and your degree has been conferred. Submitting a form early will not result in the form being processed sooner. Once a request has been submitted through Meditrek, allow 10-15 business days for processing. If you submit a form before you have completed all program coursework, the 10-15 business day processing time won't begin until after final grades are posted and your degree has been conferred.
For NP Forms
Please click on the link provided in the chart below to obtain the form. To ensure that there are no delays in the processing of your request, please make sure you do the following:
1. Review the form and fill in any area that requires completion by the applicant (contact information, SSN, RN license number, date of birth, etc.)
2. If the form requires your signature, please sign and date the form. This office will not be able to complete the form if any areas that require your completion are left blank.
3. If the form is provided as part of an application document, please separate the form from the rest of the application. Submitting the entire application may result in a delay of processing.
Exception for Texas: You do not need to obtain this form from the board. Please proceed to Meditrek to submit a request.
Please note: Some states require multiple forms and you can request all of them at once. You will not be able to submit multiple requests for the same form. PDFs are the preferred format for all forms. The quality of forms in different formats (such as digital photos of forms, or Word docs) may be too poor for us to complete.
For NP Letters
You do not need to obtain a sample letter. If a letter is listed for your state board, this office is aware of the requirements and has a draft of the letter prepared.
