New York maintains its own license verification system and does not currently participate in Nursys. The New York State Board of Nursing's portal is the only primary-source lookup for NY nursing licenses — third-party directories and aggregators should never be treated as a substitute.
Search by the nurse's full legal name or license number. A valid record will show license type (RN, LPN, or APRN), current status (active, expired, or disciplined), original issue date, and expiration date. Always confirm the license is active and unencumbered before relying on it for hiring or care decisions.
