Thanks for the response! The reason I am still a resident of Alaska and have not changed my residency yet is because we just made the move this summer. I was in Maryland for about two weeks before I had to leave to go back to school. I was planning on becoming a Maryland resident after I had finished school. However, if I am understanding correctly, in order for the compact state license to work in multiple states, I need to be a resident of the state that I apply in? So it would be in my best interest to go establish residency in Maryland before I send in my application?

So, I will be graduating in December from a nursing school in Missouri. I will be moving to Maryland after graduation, since my husband is in the Air Force and currently lives there. I was just planning on getting licensed in Missouri since it is a compact state. However, I am a legal resident of Alaska, and a physical resident of Kansas. The Missouri BON said that you need to be a resident to apply. I am so confused by the Maryland BON website. Do I need to establish residency in Maryland in order to apply for a license there? Also, what documents do I need? I have emailed them and called, but gotten no response. I guess I could fly there this week to get a Maryland driver's license. Any advice is appreciated!
