Need help with licensing info!!!

Hello,

I am currently an RN licensed in Illinois. I am attempting to get my license in both Iowa and California and I have some questions on doing this because the Illinois website is an atrocity.

What information do I send first to the state of Illinois? I have already sent my college the request for transcript info.

I know I need to send the "Verification of License" form, but I don't know the "fee" I have to pay to the state of Illinois. Also can I send in the form for both Iowa and California in the same envelope? Who do I make the check out to?

Do I need to wait for confirmation that Illinois has gotten these first forms before I send the actual application for endorsement? Do I send both my Iowa and California applications in the same envelope?

Please help because I am confused and have only been licensed in Illinois and need these licenses ASAP! Illinois is impossible to speak with an actual human being on the phone so I figured someone out here would know some answers. Thanks all!

    Hello...On the main page for Illinois BON, there is a blue hyperlink "Request Certification/Verification" that answers a lot of your questions. It's under the "Resources and Publications" section. It looks like it costs $20 for the verifications (probably for each one). You should be able to send the Verification forms in the same envelope to IL BON. IL BON will complete the forms and mail one to CA and one to IO.

    I'd recommend sending the endorsement applications to CA BON and IO BON as soon as you complete them, regardless of when you mail in the verification forms to IL BON. You'll find the endorsement application forms on the CA and IO websites...not on the IL BON website. They need to be mailed separately, and the addresses are at the top of the forms.

    Hope this helps!
