It is critical to your licensure to not withhold any information regarding each question on
the application.
Submitting the application for licensure by examination does NOT register you for the exam. Applicants must register and pay separately for the exam by going to: www.pearsonvue.com.
To complete the application process you must:

- Submit the appropriate fee.
- Request official transcripts from your school showing date of graduation and degree conferred. The transcripts should be sent by your nursing school directly to the Montana Board of Nursing.

Licensing Process
Completed applications will be reviewed by the Board. If applicants are determined to be eligible to test, they will receive an authorization to test (ATT) notification from Pearson VUE.
Applicants must take and pass the NCLEX.
When the Board office receives the applicant's passing test results from Pearson VUE, the applicant will be issued a license.
