For NPs practicing across state lines, one compact (APRN Compact) currently apply. Below: which states are live, which have only enacted the compact, and where a full state license is still required.
5 states have enacted this compact into law, but no state is yet issuing privileges. Verify current status at APRN Compact’s official site before assuming coverage.
Note: Compact activates when 7 states enact; currently 5. Official site publishes no roster — corroborated via WY Board of Nursing.
Every row links to that state's full compliance page. Numbers reflect current data/compacts.json — not memory or press releases.

The APRN Compact. Compact status varies by state — see the state-by-state table above for current coverage.
Zero states currently have live compact privileges for this credential family. See the compact status above for enactment-only states.
You need a full state license issued by that state’s licensing board. TeleVerify flags every session whose patient state you don’t hold a license (or live compact privilege) in.
Check the specific state’s TeleVerify compliance page — it aggregates licensing board rules, compact membership, and consent/prescribing rules verified against source data. Every session you run through TeleVerify re-verifies these rules against the patient’s live location.
TeleVerify checks your credentials against each patient's state at session start, generates a signed compliance record, and flags gaps before they become audit findings.
