PRIMARY SOURCE LICENSE VERIFICATION

The Alabama Board of Nursing obtains primary source verification of education prior to issuance of licenses.  For advanced practice nurses, primary source verification of certification occurs prior to issuance of approval.

License Lookup on the Board's web site is not considered primary source verification.  An update is run only once a day.  However, subscribers to the group online license verification system can count on the system for primary source verification.  For more information about the group online license verification system for employers of nurses, click here.
