Nurses are not permitted to practice without proof of current licensure. If you do not have your new license by the expiration date your employer may verify your license status by accessing the Department of Health, License Lookup screen on the Internet. An inactive license may be reactivated, and a delinquent license may be renewed, upon application and submission of the appropriate fees and documentation. Statements by the licensee of any disciplinary action taken against him, and of any arrests and convictions or findings of guilt, during the period that the Florida license was inactive must be submitted. Proof of completion of all continuing education required for all biennial licensure periods for which the individual was inactive or delinquent must also be submitted.
All fees are subject to change.
Do not send cash, checks or money orders to the Jacksonville address. All applications with fees must be sent to the Tallahassee address before they are processed in the Jacksonville Board office. Mailing or delivering an application to the Jacksonville office will result in a delay of processing.
