Alabama

Board homepage; licensing, legal, nursing practice and education sections branch from it.

Licensure questions go to licensing@abn.alabama.gov.

Scope limited to the captured compact article. General practice-act and current licensure-rule authority remain outside this reviewed citation.

RN/LPN confirmed. Multistate issuance is covered under compact, not here.

Single-state licenses remain available; applicants select SSL or MSL on the endorsement application.

The same source says LPNs and RNs holding multistate licenses renew in odd-numbered years and gives December 31 expiration. Single-state RN/LPN timing is held: the captured renewal page contains navigation labels only.

Applies to licensure by examination; Pearson Vue issues the Authorization to Test after the Board establishes eligibility.

Captured Alabama compact article cites Act 2019-102, §3.

NCSBN's NLC implementation table (rev. Aug 2026) lists Alabama as implemented on Jan. 1, 2020.

Current multistate issuance and renewal (MSL renewal fee $203.50) confirm operation; the exact first-issuance day is the Board's stated January 1, 2020 start.

APRNs holding out-of-state RN multistate licenses must still obtain Alabama advanced-practice approval.

Nurses moving to a non-compact state notify the Board through My Profile when they change their permanent legal residence from Alabama.

Holds for a nurse whose primary residence is in another compact state and who holds a valid multistate license. Not personal advice.

General RN/PN Compact verification route, published as an exact QuickConfirm link by the Louisiana LPN Board. The NLC Commission’s linked 2018 guide (https://www.nursecompact.com/files/nursysquickconfirm.pdf) describes the report’s RN/PN practice-state check. The destination returned a redirect loop during this review; current accessibility and individual license results are unverified. This link does not establish a particular nurse’s eligibility or state-specific restrictions.

Observed official label and href lead to the paper endorsement PDF. The Board says all online services are currently unavailable during cybersecurity recovery.

September 2026 paper instructions support the listed checklist. PDF layout interleaves the CE label into the sentence; quoted exact contiguous suffix, with full regenerated text retained.

Paper endorsement instructions list SSL $125 and MSL $225 for RN or LPN. FAQ also lists a $3.50 transaction fee; whether that applies to the temporary paper-payment process is held. Fingerprinting/verification costs are separate, so no zero additional-fee claim is made.

Endorsement application attestation supports fingerprints, FieldPrint, and federal/state checks.

First endorsement application only; no endorsement permit duration is established. The captured FAQ distinguishes examination permits. No examination permit duration is transferred to endorsement.

Verification must come from the original state of licensure. Non-Nursys states use the Board's verification form; faxed copies and license copies are not accepted. The Nursys transaction fee is not stated by the Board.

Explicitly confirmed for multistate RN/LPN licenses. Single-state cycle remains outside this source scope.

Captured chart expressly covers SSL RN Renewal 2026 and SSL/MSL LPN plus MSL RN Renewal 2027. A universal 24-hour total is held because the cited renewal landing page does not contain that statement. The mandatory course and chart amounts are not summed or treated as substitutes without further Board clarification.

Ordinary lapsed RN/LPN route, with no NCLEX retake. FAQ separately requires 24 CE hours earned within 24 months for reinstatement. Active military-deployment rules may waive penalty/reinstatement fees and prevent lapse when conditions are met. October 2026 online-service outage may affect the older FAQ online route.
