Attention: New Nursing Graduates
As you know, all ABN online services are currently unavailable. To ensure that you are able to apply for your temporary permit and Authorization to Test for the NCLEX, we have developed a paper application process. Please click the appropriate link below, download and complete it, and mail it, along with any required additional documentation and your payment, to:
Alabama Board of Nursing
Attention: Licensing
PO Box 303900
Montgomery, AL 36130
You may also deliver your application to the Board offices in Montgomery:
770 Washington Avenue
Suite 250
Montgomery, AL 36104
Please note that payment must be made either with certified funds (cashier's check or money order) or a personal check written on an Alabama bank with the applicant's name imprinted on it.
Applications will be reviewed in the order they are received. If further information is required, staff will contact you. When all requirements have been met, the Board will issue your temporary permit and eligibility to test, and the Board's website will be revised to reflect your valid temporary permit. Pearson Vue will then issue your Authorization to Test.
Please note: If you applied prior to September 1, please do not submit a paper application. The ABN staff will process the application you have on file.

Please note: the ABN is not currently accepting paper applications for RN Renewal. As we continue to recover from the cybersecurity event, we will provide you with further information regarding RN renewal for 2026.
