How to read these amounts
- Standard on-time renewal for an active NP. Late fees, fingerprints, CE, national certification and employer costs are not included.
- Amounts are not automatically added together. Some states bill RN and NP as one combined price; some prescribing registrations are alternatives, and many renew on different cycles. Open a state's details for its billing rules.
- A blank amount means the agency does not publish one, not that the renewal is free.
- Reference amount means the figure comes from a published fee comparison rather than the board's own fee page. Confirm it with the board before you pay. How fee sources are ranked
