The Mississippi Board of Nursing provides the following options for individuals attempting to verify a Mississippi nursing license. 

1. Our online verification system. You may search for nursing licensure information by a combination of Social Security number along with License number or Last Name. The licensure information is computer-generated, updated at the end of each business day, and will reflect on the website the following morning.

- You do not have to be a subscriber to verify a license. There is still no fee for Level 1 information (name, license number, level of licensure, disciplinary status, expiration, and original issue dates). Additional licensure information (Original issue code, & APRN info) as well as verification of privilege to practice in Mississippi with a multistate license from another Compact state can be obtained for a fee of $20.00 + a small online processing fee by the state. Usually around $2.00.  To verify a license online click here.

You may send a check or money order for $20.00 to the Mississippi Board of Nursing at 1080 River Oaks Drive, Suite A100, Flowood, MS 39232-9779.  Include your contact information,  the nurse's name, license number, address and as much information available. Please note that this process is slower and return times will depend on staff workload.
