​​​​Requesting a verification of licensure

You will be required to provide a verification of licensure when you apply to another regulatory body or educational institution. ​This is an official document that shows your current licensure status and licensing history with BCCNM (and the legacy colleges). 

Important: Verifications of licensure are sent directly from BCCNM to the organization you are applying to. 

How to apply

  1. Sign in to your account and complete the online verification reque​st form and submit the required payment of $60.00 (plus GST). You may be required to create a new account before you can submit the request.

  2. Once we receive your request and payment, we will create an official document and email it to the regulatory or educational institution indicated on your request form. It may take up to four​ weeks for your request to be processed.

  3. You will receive an email confirmation once the verification of licensure has been sent.

Note: BCCNM does not complete third party forms. The information provided in the verification report is sufficient for all regulators and education institutions.

The verification of licensure includes:

  • BCCNM license number, initial licensure dates (including provisional licensure, if any) and current licensure status
  • Date of birth and former name(s) if any
  • Name of school of nursing, graduation date and type of program
  • Dates and scores of all Canadian or US licensing examinations written, if on record
  • Statement regarding whether or not your licensure is and has been in good standing
  • Statement regarding whether or not an unresolved written complaint has been received by BCCNM or your licensure is under investigation​
