NCSBN ID: A Unique Number for Every Nurse

The NCSBN ID is the only unique nurse identifier (UNI) assigned to each nurse upon their first licensure with a board of nursing. This unique number streamlines license management, verification, and communication across systems.

One NCSBN ID. All Your Licenses.

Every licensed nurse is assigned an NCSBN ID. This unique number connects all licenses held by a nurse—regardless of license type and across jurisdictions. It supports efficient license management and verification while protecting personal identifiable information (PII), enabling data sharing between systems without compromising privacy. With one number, a nurse can easily access all licensure information in one place.
