can we get RN license with ITIN instead of SSN

If you passed, you will get the license even without SSN. But you cannot work without it.

Thanks NurseMargo,

So if anyone with ITIN pass their nclex, can they see their name on BON website??????????? or do we need to wait untill we get the result in the mail in 3--4 weeks.

California does NOT participate in quick results and thats the bad part for us not knowing the result for so many weeks.

Not in Calfiornia. Only a letter that states that the nurse passed the exam, and meets all requirements. Nut no license, so no way to endorse license to another state as a licensed nurse in CA.

Some one may have been lucky and gotten their license with the ITIN# but actually it is not supposed to be, as the BON wants proof that you can legally work in the US, and you cannot with the ITIN#. That is the purpose for requiring the SSN#.

You cannot get a license without an SSN in North Carolina either.
