Illinois NCLEX Application – Nursing

Step 1: Applying with the Illinois State Board (IDFPR)

Illinois NCLEX Application: Continental Testing Services contracts with the state of Illinois to handle licensure applications in Illinois. All Illinois licensure applications go through them.

Start Here: IDFPR Nursing web page.

Expand the area called “Licensee Application Forms” and find your form.

Follow the instructions. It will involve going to the Continental Testing Services website and doing your online application there.

 

[Step 1.5]:

Continental Testing Services should have sent you a confirmation email. Go to your email and confirm your email address before continuing.

 

Step 2: Register with Pearson Vue

You should read the NCLEX Candidate bulletin before registering and taking the test. It can be found on the NCSBN NCLEX Portal. From there, you should click on “Register” to register for the NCLEX.

Register for the NCLEX

Quick Fact:

Pearson Vue is the company that hosts the NCLEX. They run the testing centers and the computerized testing facilities.

The NCSBN is the nursing organization who creates the NCLEX questions and regulations.

Pearson Vue is also responsible for sending the Authorization to Test letter. They will only send it after receiving an approval from your State Board of Nursing (which you applied to in Step 1).

The registration fee will be $200 for students in the U.S.

Step 3: Receive your Authorization to Test (ATT) and Schedule your NCLEX Exam

You’ve successfully completed the dual application process. If your Board of Nursing application has been approved, your ATT will arrive by e-mail within 2 weeks after you register.

Remember, after you turn in all the materials, your State Board of Nursing (from Step 1) sends approval to Pearson Vue (from Step 2). Pearson Vue then sends the Authorization to Test. You can check the status of both applications.

Check the status of your $91 Continental Testing Services online application.

Once your Authorization to Test letter arrives, you can schedule your test from the Pearson Vue website.

If you need to check the status of your registration with Pearson Vue, or have ANY QUESTIONS at all, refer to the candidate bulletin.
