Coronavirus Updates

The Board is monitoring state and national developments on COVID-19. Licensees should monitor the Board's website for important updates:

Renewal email reminders are targeted to be emailed by Monday, February 17, 2025, and may be sent over several days. If you do not receive your renewal by March 1, 2025, email moprotech@pr.mo.gov or call 833-373-2936 for assistance. You no longer need a PIN to renew. The Missouri Division of Professional Registration has a new secure online licensing system called MOPRO. This system will be used for all nurse accounts. This account is not the same as your Nursys® e-Notify account. You will have two accounts- one with Nursys® e-Notify (national system) and the other with MOPRO, (the Missouri state licensing system).

1. Make sure you are enrolled in Nursys® e-Notify as a Nurse at www.nursys.com/e-notify. If you are already enrolled in Nursys® e-Notify as a Nurse, review your account, and make sure you have updated your account within the last year.
2. Go to https://mopro.mo.gov. If you have not already registered for your MOPRO account, click on "Register" and follow the prompts to register. Click the "Frequently Asked Questions" link on the right-side for registration assistance. If you encounter difficulty with MOPRO account creation, email moprotech@pr.mo.gov or call 833-373-2936.
3. After you have successfully created your MOPRO account and are logged in, you can click on the RENEW A LICENSE button or navigate to MY LICENSES, click on the eye icon, then RENEWAL APPLICATION under LICENSE ACTIONS.
4. IF YOU HOLD AN APRN LICENSE: After you have renewed your Missouri RN license, go back to your MOPRO account, click on the RENEW A LICENSE button or navigate to MY LICENSES, click on the eye icon next to your APRN license, then RENEWAL APPLICATION under LICENSE ACTIONS to renew your APRN license.

There are four APRN roles: nurse practitioner, clinical nurse specialist, nurse anesthetist and nurse midwife. There are specialties within the nurse practitioner and clinical nurse specialist roles. You may remember that the licensure model for APRNs changed in 2023 from a model of recognition to licensure. When you review your APRN license, you will notice that you will have one license number per role and any specialties will be shown under the role. If you were an APRN that had multiple license numbers, your earliest license number was retained. As an example, Nurse Nancy had a Family Nurse Practitioner license number and another license number for Family Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. In the new system, these two license records were combined into one Nurse Practitioner license with two specialties and the earliest (first) license number was retained.

Every nurse is assigned a NCSBN ID that never expires, is never assigned to another nurse, does not change when you are licensed in other states and is the easiest way to look up your record in the Nursys database. Your records are tied together by this NCSBN ID. You can learn more about your NCSBN ID at License Verification (Nursys.com) | NCSBN

Tips:

• Make sure you are enrolled in Nursys e-Notify first.
• Use a personal email address for your MOPRO account.
• Consider using the same email address for your MOPRO and Nursys e-Notify account.
• Use Google Chrome.
