 PRIMARY SOURCE VERIFICATION:The WV RN website is considered primary source verification and is actually the preferred method of licensure validation instead of viewing the license card. License cards, which are an additional evidence of licensure, may take several days to arrive. If a licensee presents a paper license card that shows different information than you find on this verification system, immediately phone the WV RN Board office at 304-558-3596 or e-mail rnboard@state.wv.us to verify the information. WV RN does primary source verification of an initial applicant's nursing education. This process requires a written request and a fee of thirty dollars ($30.00) in the form of a money order or cashiers check. Send the request to
WV RN Board, 101 Dee Drive, Suite 102, Charleston, WV, 25311.
