HOW DO I GET MY WISCONSIN

NURSING LICENSE?

To obtain a Wisconsin nursing license, a travel nurse must do the following:

Complete the Application – Licensure by Endorsement (Form #3087) here.
Pay an $82 fee.
Send the application and fee to:

P.O. Box 8935
Madison, WI, 53708-8935

Submit license verifications.
- Submit verification of license for both your original and current states. If the original exam state license is still active, that’s the only one you need to verify.
- Use Nursys online to obtain your verification. You will need to complete the NURSYS Licensure Verification process, pay the fee and mark Wisconsin as the verification recipient. The License Quick Confirm Report is not a suitable alternative.
- If your state doesn’t use the NURSYS verification site, you’ll need to contact the state’s board to ask for a verification licensure to be sent to Wisconsin either via the address aforementioned or the following email address: DSPSCredNursing@wisconsin.gov. Verifications must be sent directly from one board to the other, not from the applicant to the board.
If you don’t have current nursing education or have not been employed in a position that requires a nursing license within the past five years, you can apply to the Board for a limited license and take a nursing refresher course. After the course, you can ask the Board for full licensure.
Submit proof of graduation from or completion of Nursing School. (Form #259)
Wisconsin doesn’t require fingerprinting for travel nurses.
