April 2024 License Expiration

This is a reminder regarding your Oklahoma nursing license expiration date of April 30, 2024.

 

Nurses with the Tuesday, April 30, 2024, expiration date will be able to renew up until midnight on Tuesday, April 30, 2024. If not renewed by midnight on Tuesday, April 30, 2024, your license will lapse.

 

NOTICE: If you are an APRN, please note the message displayed in RED font that appears following your RN renewal: “You have pending renewals for additional licenses”. Your APRN and Prescriptive Authority renewal application is a separate application. If you have more than one APRN license, you may renew all APRN licenses at one time. Following the submission of your APRN renewal application (and prescriptive authority if applicable), you will receive a notice that you have renewed your APRN license (and your prescriptive authority recognition if applicable).

 

NOTICE: The new online Nurse Portal was launched on October 13, 2020. Through the Nurse Portal, applications, renewals, name and address changes are submitted in an electronic format. Please click here for more information.

 

If you plan to change your license status from a single state to multistate, you must meet all requirements for a multistate license and submit fingerprints for a federal criminal background check.  The Oklahoma Board of Nursing is not authorized to receive criminal history record information prior to receiving an application; therefore, you will receive information on obtaining a fingerprint-based background check in the Message Center of your Nurse Portal account after your application has been successfully submitted. To complete the application process, you should allow at least 2 weeks for the criminal background check results to reach the Board office. If the criminal background check result is NOT received prior to the expiration date of your license, please reach out to our office at 405-962-1832 to discuss how to renew your single state license while waiting on the result. For complete instructions you should review Instructions for Applying for Multistate Licensure for Existing Active OK Licensees (oklahoma.gov).
