Transferring Out of New Brunswick
Follow this process if you are leaving NB and wish to obtain an LPN license in another jurisdiction
Before Getting Started...
ANBLPN’S ROLE WHEN MEMBERS LEAVE NB
When an LPN member is leaving the province, ANBLPN’s role is to provide the destination jurisdiction with complete information regarding your registration status and good standing. This documentation is requested by the member and sent directly to the destination jurisdiction by ANBLPN as a Verification of Registration.
TIMELINE
We are a small staff so the timeline for this process can vary depending on the current volume of applicants however, we do our best to ensure that documents are forwarded to destination jurisdictions in a timely manner. Generally, the process can be completed within 1-2 business days after payment is received.
PROCESSING FEES
The processing fees are payable through your member account and are as follows:
- $23.00 – Transferring to another Canadian province
- $57.50 – Transferring outside of Canada
Get Started!
STEP 1 - Verification of Registration
When you apply to transfer your license to another jurisdiction, you will need to provide them with verification of registration(s) you hold/have held in other jurisdictions to verify your status and good standing.
- Go to the destination jurisdiction’s website and search for the [Verification of Registration] form.
- Complete and sign the first section of the form
- Email the completed and signed form to lpninfo@npls.ca
You may send a scan or picture of the form, as long as we can read it.
Step 2 - Processing Fee
Processing Fee: $23 (transferring within Canada) OR $57.50 (transferring outside of Canada)
- Once we receive the completed/signed form, we will invoice your ANBLPN account for the processing fee
- The invoice for the processing fee will be in the [My Invoices] section of your ANBLPN account homepage and can be paid online.
STEP 3 - Processing and Confirmation
- After payment is received, we will process your verification of registration form
- The completed form will be sent directly to the destination jurisdiction’s LPN college/association
- Once the form is sent, you will receive a confirmation email from ANBLPN
Your NB License While You Are Out of Province
If you are working as an LPN in another jurisdiction, it is not required that you renew your NB license while you are out of province. If you return to NB, you may apply to reinstate your license through your ANBLPN account.
At that time you will be required to provide:
- Verification of registration from the other jurisdiction(s)
- Verification of practice hours from your employer(s) to confirm the 1000 practice hours minimum requirement
When you transfer your license to another jurisdiction, your NB LPN license is still valid until its expiry date, which is normally November 30. You may hold licenses in more than one jurisdiction as long as you maintain membership fees in any jurisdictions you are working in.
Reinstating Your License
Follow this process if you meet the following criteria:
1. You have already been licensed as an LPN in New Brunswick AND
2. You are returning from leave, ex. maternity, sick, retirement, etc. OR
3. You are returning from working as an LPN in another province
Reinstating your license is the process of going from a non-practicing or expired license back to an active license. You must apply to reinstate your license and meet the requirements of active licensure before your reinstatement is approved.
Before Getting Started...
When to Apply for Reinstatement
- Option 1– Returning to work BEFORE October 1:
Apply for reinstatement at least 2 weeks prior to your start/return date. - Option 2 – Returning to work IN October or November:
You must complete your reinstatement by September 30, and BEFORE completing your annual renewal.
If you Have Been Working in Another Province

Refer to the College/Association of each applicable province for directions on how to request verification of registration and expected processing time.
*The Verification of Registration will be sent directly to ANBLPN by the applicable college/association.
If you Have Been Working in Another Province, OR on Leave Spanning More Than 1 Licensure Year

FAQ
Some renewals may be auto-approved however, there are some factors that require manual review and approval. Below is a list of some of the common ones:
- Change of employer
- Profile updates such as name changes
- Answering no to CCP, or items in the declarations section
- Unpaid invoice(s)
During renewal, we do our best to review renewal submissions several times per day however, we cannot guarantee that renewals will be approved the same day. This is why it is important to complete your renewal as soon as possible once the renewal period opens on October 1.
Yes. All members must complete their renewal form online. If you are on payroll deduction with your employer, the payment can only be applied once your renewal has been submitted.
If you signed up for PAD, you may have a balance owing when you complete your renewal if any of your payments did not go through or if you signed up after January.
You will just need to pay the balance owing before your license becomes active.
Note: To minimize bank charges, PAD subscriptions are cancelled if 2 consecutive payments do not go through.
It is each member’s responsibility to enter their banking information accurately when signing up for PAD.
See our PAD document for more information.
Yes. Members who have paid their license fees through payroll deduction or preauthorized debit but have renewed as non-practicing will be refunded the balance of their fees. Refunds are processed in December, once the renewal period has closed. We are unable to hold funds in member accounts to be applied the following year.
No. If you are planning to renew a practicing license next year, you may continue your preauthorized debits so the funds will be available when you renew your active license.
Renewals must be completed online through your member account. ANBLPN staff can answer questions regarding your renewal however, we are not able to complete it for you however, we have a great step-by-step video (see the [Resources] section above) to help you complete your renewal.
We do our best to assist our 4000 members however, we are a small staff and are not always able to assist everyone immediately and encourage members to refer to the many resources on the website.
Because we are a small staff and renewal is very busy, we cannot guarantee that we will be available to assist walk-ins. Please call or email instead of traveling to the office.
If you do arrive at the office, you will still need to complete your renewal online and will need access to your email. We are not able to do your renewal for you whether on the phone or in person.

Review the options below to decide which license status is appropriate for your situation for the upcoming year (Dec 1 – Nov 30), then log into your account to complete your renewal.

- Fee: $40.25
- Valid: December 1 to November 30 (with option to reinstate to active)

Pour plus de détails, voir le document d’instruction dans la section [Ressources] ci-dessus.
FAQ
Certains renouvellements peuvent être approuvés automatiquement, mais certains facteurs nécessitent un examen et une approbation manuels. Vous trouverez ci-dessous une liste des cas communs :
- Changement d’employeur
- Mise à jour du profil (changement de nom, par exemple)
- Réponse négative au PFPC ou à des éléments de la section des déclarations
- Facture(s) impayée(s)
Pendant la période de renouvellement, nous faisons de notre mieux pour examiner les demandes de renouvellement plusieurs fois par jour, mais nous ne pouvons pas garantir que les renouvellements seront approuvés le jour même. C’est pourquoi il est important d’effectuer votre renouvellement dès que possible après l’ouverture de la période de renouvellement le 1er octobre.
Oui. Tous les membres doivent remplir leur formulaire de renouvellement en ligne. Si vous bénéficiez d’une retenue sur salaire auprès de votre employeur, le paiement ne peut être effectué qu’une fois le formulaire de renouvellement soumis.
Si vous avez opté pour les paiements préautorisés, il se peut que vous ayez un solde à payer au moment de votre renouvellement si l’un (ou plus) de vos paiements n’a pas été effectué ou si vous vous êtes inscrit après le mois de janvier.
Il vous suffira de payer le solde dû avant que votre licence ne devienne active.
Note : Pour minimiser les frais bancaires, les abonnements PAD sont annulés si deux paiements consécutifs ne sont pas effectués.
Il est de la responsabilité de chaque membre d’entrer ses informations bancaires avec précision lorsqu’il s’inscrit au PP.
Voir notre document sur les PP pour plus d’informations.
Oui. Les membres qui ont payé les frais de leur licence par prélèvement sur leur salaire ou par paiement préautorisé, mais qui ont renouvelé leur licence en tant que non-pratiquants, se verront rembourser le solde de leurs frais. Les remboursements sont effectués en décembre, après la clôture de la période de renouvellement. Nous ne sommes pas en mesure de conserver les fonds sur les comptes des membres pour les appliquer l’année suivante.
Non. Si vous prévoyez de renouveler votre licence active l’année prochaine, vous pouvez continuer à effectuer des prélèvements automatiques afin que les fonds soient disponibles lorsque vous renouvellerez votre licence active.
Les renouvellements doivent être effectués en ligne dans votre compte de membre. Le personnel de l’AIAANB peut répondre aux questions concernant votre renouvellement, mais il n’est pas en mesure de le faire à votre place. Pour aider les membres, nous avons une vidéo étape par étape (voir la section [Ressources] ci-dessus) qui vous aidera à effectuer votre renouvellement.
Nous faisons de notre mieux pour aider nos 4000 membres, mais nous sommes une petite équipe et nous ne sommes pas toujours en mesure d’aider tout le monde immédiatement ; nous encourageons donc les membres à se référer aux nombreuses ressources disponibles sur le site web.
Parce que nous sommes une petite équipe et que le renouvellement est très occupé, nous ne pouvons pas garantir que nous serons disponibles pour aider les personnes qui se présentent sans rendez-vous. Veuillez téléphoner ou envoyer un courriel au lieu de vous rendre au bureau.
Si vous vous présentez au bureau, vous devrez quand même effectuer votre renouvellement en ligne et vous aurez besoin d’un accès à votre courrier électronique. Nous ne pouvons pas compléter votre renouvellement pour vous, que ce soit par téléphone ou en personne.
Quelle option de renouvellement choisir?
Examinez les options ci-dessous pour décider quel statut de licence est approprié à votre situation pour l’année à venir (1er décembre – 30 novembre) ensuite, connectez-vous à votre compte pour effectuer votre renouvellement.

Quand une licence non pratiquante devient avantageuse
