Let's Review Your Steps Here:

New Hampshire State Police
Background Check & Finger Printing

The NH Board of Nursing (BON) must receive and review your criminal record report and FBI fingerprinting in order to complete the application process. The Board can only accept completed criminal record reports that are sent to them directly from the NH State Police. The State Police only keeps fingerprinting results in their system for 30 days.
WE STRONGLY ENCOURAGE YOU TO BEGIN THE FINGERPRINTING PROCESS AS EARLY AS POSSIBLE TO AVOID LICENSING DELAYS. 
 

STEP 1: On the day of your Fingerprinting appointment, be sure to arrive with your photo ID. They will give you an “Applicant LiveScan Site Form” which you will need to send to the Board of Nursing. Keep it secure and do not lose it.

STEP 2: You can complete your LiveScan fingerprinting at any time before, during or after your LNA course. However, the State Police will only keep the results on file for 30 days. The PDF file of your live scan will be emailed directly to the Board of Nursing.

▪LiveScan MUST be paid online at the time the appointment is made.

▪Upon completion of LiveScan all results will be automatically sent directly to the Board of Nursing from the State Police.

*Be sure you have already completed and sent in your LiveScan fingerprinting documents before moving on to applying for your license.
