California RN License Lookup
Verify any registered nurse, LPN, or APRN license issued in California directly against the California Board of Registered Nursing — the primary-source record for CA nursing licenses.

California maintains its own license verification system and does not currently participate in Nursys. The California Board of Registered Nursing's portal is the only primary-source lookup for CA 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.
