It depends on the state (and the employer).
Most job applications will require you to provide an LPN license number to ensure you possess the minimum qualifications for the position.

I was wondering the same thing. But I think as long as you give them the number it should be ok. As a CNA I was never asked for my license. They used to look me up on the license search.
