Uniform MPJE Adoption Update
In March 2026, the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy® (NABP®) launched registration for the Uniform MPJE™. The administration for candidates in early adopter states began on April 1.
If candidates would like to transfer their UMPJE score to other participating jurisdictions, they may purchase score transfers up to 89 days after taking the UMPJE. Candidates seeking licensure by reciprocity do not need to purchase a score transfer. They will have their UMPJE result included, along with the NAPLEX result, in the Electronic Licensure Transfer Program (eLTP) application.
Additional jurisdictions will begin administering the UMPJE for candidates starting June 1. See jurisdictions and important dates below:
