type='html'>Applicants who have completed LPN or RN education outside of the US must have their education credentials verified by the
Commission on Graduates of Foreign Nursing Schools (
CGFNS). Such applicants should contact
CGFNS at
www.cgfns.org for the application and instructions to complete the
CGFNS Credential Verification Service for New York State. Please note that this verification process is not the same as
CGFNS’ Certification Program (which is required for registered nurse applicants applying for limited permits). The
CGFNS Credentials Verification Service for New York State licensure applicants is a process for verifying the authenticity of education credentials. The
CGFNS Credentials Verification Service for New York State does not indicate approval by the New York State Education Department of the content of education. After education credentials are verified by
CGFNS, they are then forwarded to and evaluated by the New York State Education Department.
You will be advised in writing of the results of the New York State Education Department’s evaluation of your education. In addition, the licensing examination administrator will be notified if you are eligible for the examination.
