This link will take you to Vermonts website, however I don't think you actually need a copy of a license to be petitioned but proof of passing NCLEX.

pls. help...i would like to apply for licensure in vermont...already passed nclex-rn from california but i want to apply for licensure in vermont because they issue license without SSN...which i need it now for petition...
are these steps right? pls. help need your guidance...i know that i have to go throught the usual steps in the application and request california to forward my result to vermont? is this right? how will i do it? i will call them?
thank you so much...

You do not need the hard license to start the petition process. You only need proof of passing the NCLEX. Some even just use the CGFNS Certificate to prove passing of the CGFNS exam because that too is accepted to start the petition process. The letter CA BRN gave you informing you that you passed NCLEX will suffice to start the process and many have done it that way.

Also, unless the 3 years are about to expire w/c CA BRN gives to their applicants w/o US SSN there is also no point of endorsing to another State this early.

CA BRN also extends that 3 years for an additional 1 year upon request but they too do not do it unless it is close to expire.

No, your letter will expire in 2010, three years from the date on it. If they grant an extension to you, then you get an extra one year, but they do not always do that and you need to contact them beforehand and closer to that date.

The three years is all that is automatic.
