LPN/RN Nurse Licensure Compact (NLC)
South Dakota is a member of the NCL. Holding a multi-state license allows a nurse to practice in other member states without obtaining additional licenses in other member states. To hold a MSL, a nurse must be a resident in a NLC state. Be prepared to provide documentation to support residence in South Dakota, examples: state driver's license, voter registration.
A nurse who holds a multistate license and changes state residence to another NLC member state must apply for a license in the new party state within 60 days!
