License Verification

U.S.A. Illinois

Published

Hello guys! I passed the NCLEX (Illinois) earlier this June. However, It has been almost a month now since then and I still can't see my name on the registry. I am totally clueless about whether or not there is a process to activate my license. Can anyone please help me with this? Thanks in advance.

Did you have your SSN put in? They won't activate unless you have SSN

I have no SSN. I am a foreign applicant. So, I have no idea how I will be able to obtain one.

Here is a pertinent thread from 2015 (note requirements have changed, and you will need to obtain a SS# in order to get your nursing license):

Also more information (from 2018):

Hi there, international nurse here. This might be off topic, an anyone help me with the application for taking NCLEX in Illinois? I submitted the documents to CTS including the IELTS test results (sent directly from British Council to Continental Testing Services Inc ). It has been more than 10 days since the documents arrived, and no change in status. It's saying, "no record found". If it's not too much, can anyone explain what documents did you send directly to the CTS office? Maybe I did something wrong, or there are missing documents from my part.

Another issue is that I'm unable to register and pay for the NCLEX with Pearson VUE, I've heard that people pay before the application with CTS is ready.

Thank you in advance.

P.S: I'm desperate for not knowing what to do.
