Ohio Board of Nursing

Due to a high volume of licensure applications average processing time is 30 business days. To check the receipt of your application, please go to the Board web site at www.nursing.ohio.gov and click on “verification”. You will be redirected to the licensure verification website used by the Board. Enter your last and first name into the correct fields and press the “Search” button. If your application has been entered into the system, your name will appear in the list displayed. Select yourself from the search results by clicking on your name. You will then be taken to a page displaying your specific information.

Once your name appears in the system, it will display as “pending” until your license is issued. We encourage you to wait the full 30 business days before contacting us as there is generally no additional information that we can provide.

Currently the Board is receiving hundreds of calls and e-mails daily about the status of licenses, so your call or e-mail may not be returned immediately. We have seen an increase in licensure volume over the last several years and remain committed to issuing licenses as quickly as possible.

We appreciate your patience.

Email is available at licensure@nursing.ohio.gov
