3. Request Your Transcripts
• You’ll need to fill out transcript request forms from the nursing school(s) you attended. Transcripts need to be sent directly from the school to the California BON. You can Use CGFNS: CES Report or eDAS report if you still have the credential on their system.
4. Complete Fingerprints and Payment
• Those already in California or close enough to visit a Livescan center in California may opt to complete their fingerprints at a center and pay fees there.
• Nurses outside of California can request that fingerprint cards be mailed to them using this link:

5. Processing time 2-3 months
• Applying for California nursing license endorsement takes a bit more legwork than many other states, but the rewards are great- you can take your lifesaving abilities to the beautiful Golden State!
