Maintaining compact licensure

Published

Hello everyone,

I wanted to know if there is any way to maintain my compact licensure and move to a state with single state licensure. If I still consider my primary residence and mail with my compact state, can I still move to a different state? 

I am licensed in both states.

The NCSBN is clear about the what constitutes a primary state of residence (PSOR); 

"PSOR is the state where you hold a current driver's license, voter's card, federal income tax return, military form no. 2058 or W2 form. If a nurse's PSOR is a compact state, that nurse may be eligible for a multistate license. If a nurse cannot declare a compact state as their PSOR, that nurse is not eligible for a compact license. They may apply for a single-state license in any state where they wish to practice".
