I'm a foreign grad Nurse and last week I took my NCLEX exam and finally I got the results that I passed! It was the best day of my life and I'm so happy I can't even stop thinking about it. Now Back to reality I'm trying to endorse my license from Washington state to Arizona state but I found out that my toefl already expired. Typically most of the people said it usually expires in 2 years but Is there any other way you could renew the toefl scores? I'm just Hoping if there's something I can do before i make any move. Please help! Thank you!:)

ETS will send score reports for a period of 2 years from the date of the exam... if it's been longer than that then you would have to retest.

No you must retake the exam if it's been longer than 2 years hence why applying to your intended state where you wish to live and work is the straightest path. The scores are not renewable you must demonstrate proficiency again if you tested more than 2 years ago
