Compact license

I know I can't just use it I would transfer everything I was just wondering if you can hold both.

You have to be a legal resident of the compact state. As a N.J. resident you would get a single state license. Using the address of family can considered fraud.

If you don't live in a compact state you get a single state license when you endorse. Just like if a nurse living in a compact state applied to NJ. You can hold as many licenses as you can afford and maintain

Ok so even if I moved to NC which is compact it would only be considered a single state if chose to keep my nj. Or does my nj beco e void if I move to nc

If you permanently relocate to, and establish residency in a compact state, then your license issued in that state should grant you multi-state privileges. This is not the same as your question in your first post, in which you appeared to be askin about using the address of a family member in NC to circumvent the residency.

Of you do relocate to another state, regardless of whether it's a compact state or not, your NJ license will remain active. With the exception of only being allowed to be licensed in one eNLC state, if your license Grant's multi-state privileges you can be licensed in as many states as you wish.

Your NJ license remains valid as long as you pay the renewal and complete required CEUs. If you let lit lapse & expire it's expensive to deactivate.

NJ is not slated to join the NLC soon as not all stated have the same background check requirements that are repeated each renewal. A legislator introduces the bill every few years it just never makes it much farther . NJ isn't even on the list as prospective joiners in 2019 or 2020

Happily, I can report that New Jersey just joined the NLC. The bill is sitting on the governor's desk, waiting for him to sign it. It passed through the state legislature without opposition.

New Jersey is now a compact state. The governor of New Jersey signed the bill yesterday. ?
