NAPLEX

Fully understand the process and expectations for examination candidates and check your board of pharmacy’s website to see if there are unique requirements in the jurisdiction where you are seeking licensure.

• Sign up to receive more information on how to apply and prepare for the NAPLEX.
• If applicable, apply for the armed forces discount in your NABP e-Profile, before applying for exam eligibility.

Apply in the Exam Services section of your NABP e-Profile and pay the application fee. See the information below regarding eligibility. Timelines and fees may vary depending on the jurisdiction.

• If applicable, request ADA accommodations.
  • If you need test day accommodations under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), complete and follow the submission instructions on the Request for Testing Accommodations form. The form should be submitted with your online application.
• Submit transcript upon degree conferral.
  • Transcripts are required if you have never taken the NAPLEX, regardless of your graduation year, are not licensed in the US, or have never submitted an official transcript to NABP. You must have an official transcript sent from your college of pharmacy to NABP in order to purchase the exam and receive an Authorization to Test (ATT). Learn more about how to submit your transcripts.

Once eligibility is granted, the purchase exam link will appear in your NABP e-Profile.

After purchasing the exam, you will receive an ATT via email.

• Purchase a score transfer.
  • You may also purchase score transfers at this time, or you may wait until after you have taken the exam. You may purchase score transfers up to 89 days after your exam date. Candidates are advised to purchase score transfer requests as soon as possible. Waiting until the last day may result in the score transfer request option being unavailable.

After receiving an ATT via email, you can then schedule your appointment with Pearson VUE. You will receive a confirmation email from Pearson VUE confirming the details of your appointment once it has been scheduled.
