How to register for NCLEX TEST

To apply for the NCLEX-RN in the United States, candidates must complete the registration process through their chosen Nursing Regulatory Body (NRB) and Pearson VUE. Following the correct steps ensures a smooth application process and timely receipt of the Authorization to Test (ATT).

Follow these steps to register for the test

  • Apply for Licensure or Registration

    Submit an application to the Nursing Regulatory Body (NRB) where you intend to obtain nursing licensure. Each state board has its own eligibility requirements and documentation process. Approval from the NRB is required before you can sit for the NCLEX examination.
