Dear allnurses,

Good day! I passed my NCLEX-RN exam and received the passing letter in 2008. After that, I didn't register under any state because of life transitions and realized the letter was gone. Is there any possibility that I can have the passing letter re-issued and how? 

I appreciate your time and replies. 

SIncerely,

Ivy Liu

Hi Ivy,

I recommend you reach out to NCLEX to get it sorted out!

Here is their website contact information: Exam Contacts | NCSBN

When I completed my NCLEX we no longer get a physical copy of passing, we receive our results online, so I can imagine it wouldn't be too difficult for them to send a letter via e-mail? I'm sure they can pull up your records. Best of luck!

Thank you so much for the info, I will definitely reach out to see how it works. 👍

Have a good one!

What state did you initially get licensed in? When you took the NCLEX it was for a specific state.  The BON that granted you permission to test would be the one to contact. I would look back to see the state you were initially licensed in and go from there.  If you were licensed in 2008 and have not done anything since then it has lapsed.

You will also likely need to contact your school and start the process over. As others have stated everything now is electronic.

Thank you for your reply and information. California was the state I tried to license in but I did not complete the process back then. Anyway, it's good to know.
