If I have a local RN license, Do I have to submit for evaluation on CES?

[sueine]

I've just figure out that I can just go through the CES process to be able to apply for my license on ID BON, I currently have a valid RN license in Brazil, but thought would be easier to just go through my academic records/transcripts. I see many threads here telling that if I don't have a local board license I don't have to submit it for evaluation on the CES, but what about if I have one? Can I also skip that step and o just the course evaluation?

Each BON is different but if trained outside the US then some form of evaluate is done and for most states that is CES from CGFNS. This is regardless on having a license in the country you trained in

the Idaho BON does not require me to have an active RN license in my home country at the time that I applied for my license here, as soon as they get the CES report from CGFNS. So I wan't to avoid doing that on the CES process since it is one more thing that I could skip and one more thing prone to issues that I would avoid having to do. But as per the CES program website, they say that you have to submit your license for validation, I could not find any information about not doing that on their website, since all that the board wants to know is if my degree is equivalent to an US degree on the course by course evaluation.
