Which items are required for transferring an out-of-state license with NAPLEX?

• A. All of the above
• B. NABP license transfer application
• C. Proof of passing NAPLEX score
• D. Verification of current good standing license from home state

Answer: (A)

When transferring a pharmacy license to another state, you’re moving credentials through licensure by endorsement, which relies on three main pieces of evidence. First, the NABP license transfer application is the formal request you submit so the board can review your credentials for the new state. Second, verification of your current good standing license from your home state is typically sent directly from that state’s board to the new state to confirm you’re actively licensed and free from current disciplinary actions. Third, proof of passing the NAPLEX shows you’ve demonstrated the national standard of competence required to practice. Together, these items provide the receiving board with the necessary documentation to grant licensure by endorsement, so all three are commonly required. Some boards may add other requirements, but these three are the core pieces.
