How does a pharmacist currently licensed in another state reciprocate his license to Virginia?
A pharmacist must first complete the licensure transfer application process through the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (NABP) by visiting www.nabp.net.A review of his educational credentials and licensure status, to include any possible disciplinary action, will be performed to ensure compliance with Virginia’s requirements. Once this application to NABP has been approved, NABP will provide the pharmacist with a partially-completed NABP Official Application For Transfer of Pharmacist License to the state of Virginia. The pharmacist must then fully complete this application and submit it to the Virginia Board of Pharmacy. Once the Board reviews and approves this application, provided no grounds exist to deny the license, the Board will notify the pharmacist of his eligibility to sit for the Virginia Federal and State Drug Law Examination (FSDLE). Virginia does not participate in the Multistate Pharmacy Jurisprudence Examination (MPJE). More information regarding this process
