Renewals are due by the 15th of the licensee&#8217;s birth month, with the option to renew starting 60 days prior.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To renew, nurses must complete 36 hours of continuing education. The process can be done online, and a late renewal within a 30-day grace period incurs a late fee in addition to the renewal fee. For retiring nurses, licenses can become inactive but may be reactivated later if needed.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cost_of_Iowa_Nursing_Board_License\"><\/span><b>Cost of Iowa Nursing Board License<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Applying for a nursing license in Iowa involves several fees that you need to pay when you submit your application, and these fees are not refundable.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you&#8217;re applying to take the nursing exam, it costs $143, which includes a $93 fee for the application itself and a $50 fee for a criminal background check. You&#8217;ll also need to pay $200 online directly to the National Council of State Boards of Nursing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you&#8217;re already a nurse in another state and want to be licensed in Iowa (this is called endorsement), the fee is $169, covering a $119 application fee and a $50 criminal background check fee.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Renewing your license every three years costs $99, and if you&#8217;re late on this, it&#8217;s $149 because of an extra $50 late fee. Reactivating a license costs $225, which includes a $175 application fee and $50 for the background check.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are other fees too, like $81 for an ARNP license, $20 for a certified copy of a document, and $15 if your check is returned. If nurses can&#8217;t verify your license for another state, there&#8217;s a $25 fee for each verification sent.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Iowa_Board_of_Nursing_License_Renewal\"><\/span><b>Iowa Board of Nursing License Renewal<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-18326\" src=\"http:\/\/hc.heartbeat.ai\/wp-content\/webp-express\/webp-images\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Iowa-Board-of-Nursing-License-Renewal.png.webp\" alt=\"Iowa Board of Nursing License Renewal\" width=\"1024\" height=\"800\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Renewing your nursing license in Iowa is straightforward.
