NM license to TN license

Published

Hello Guys, 

I'm moving to Tennessee and is also a Compact state. My question is do I have to apply for Licensure by Endorsement? If not, What else do I have to do in order to work in a multi compact state?  Also my New Mexico license is expiring in November, will I be able to do it in Tennessee BON or NM BON? Sorry my questions sounds dumb but just wanna make sure before I move. Thank you.

If you are making a permanent move to TN, you are going to have to apply for licensure in TN, which you should do as soon as you relocate.  While your TN license is being processed you will be allowed to work using your NM license, so long as grants multi-state privileges.  When your TN license is issued, your NM license will be inactivated, as you can only hold one one multi-state license.

Best wishes.

So, I’ll be moving in less than a month now. Do I have to apply for licensure now or I have to do it when I get there in TN? Thank you very much for the response.

You can do it after you relocate, so long as your NM license grants multi-state privileges.
