This is a reminder regarding your Oklahoma nursing license expiration date of March 31, 2025.

 

Nurses with the Monday, March 31, 2025, expiration date will be able to renew up until midnight on Monday, March 31, 2025. If not renewed by midnight on Monday, March 31, 2025, your license will lapse.

 

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 https://oklahoma.gov/content/dam/ok/en/nursing/documents/MSLexisting.pdf.
