Q&A: Obtaining An Illinois Fingerprint Card, CES Report and more…
DDD
HELP! i really cant find where to get the chicago, illinois fingerprint card request form. i need it badly. please help.
You need to request for fingerprint card at this address:
Department of Financial and Professional RegulationATTN: Division of Professional Regulation
320 West Washington Street, 3rd Floor
Springfield, IL 62786
Telephone: 217/782-8556
Upon receiving the fingerprint card follow these instructions:
- Utilize a fingerprint card obtained from this Department/Division
- Take it to a local police authority in any state to obtain classifiable prints
- Contact an approved livescan vendor and make arrangements for them to process your fingerprint card. Not all approved livescan vendors process the fingerprint card. Two such vendors that do process the fingerprint card are Accurate Biometrics/Art’s Investigations or Identix. Send the fingerprint card directly to the approved livescan vendor. The fingerprint vendor will advise you of the processing fee.
- DO NOT send the card directly to the Illinois State Police or Federal Bureau of Investigation (regardless of what is indicated on the card itself).
- If you follow these instructions, the results of your criminal background check will be electronically forwarded to this Department/Division when available. Failure to follow these instructions may result in a delay in the processing of your application for licensure.

i am confused about my aplication in Illinois, i already sent my requirements and payed the fee for CES application and yet i still i didn’t recieve any letter or confirmation from them.what should i do next?
The payment for the CES Application should be given to CGFNS or the company you chose to evaluate your school records. The CES might take some time before results are sent to Illinois Board of Registered Nursing you can check the status of your CES application online providing you register in their site and provide them with your basic information as well as your CGFNS ID number. Most probably without the CES result your papers won’t be evaluated by the Illinois Board of Nursing yet since it is part of the requirement. it would be best to follow up the status of your CES application first.

Hi! I have another Question. Is it okay to use another person’s credit card when registering on the NCLEX exam in pearsonvue.com? thanks!
Yes that’s not a problem as long as you can provide the basic information for the cardholder such as billing address, name, and other details of the card.

Magandang araw mga kababayan! i have all my documents here in my hands all i need to do is to mail it to California BON, but The Social Security number is bothering me so much, do i need to leave it blank?(since mahigpit na bilin ng Cali BON “NO SS # – NO PROCESSING) or fill it with my ss no.(Philippines)? anu ba talagang ss no ang hinahanap ng BON sa california? SS ng pinas or SS ng america? kung sino man ang makakatulong thanx!
The SSN that they are asking for is the one for the US. Sadly, you cannot get one not unless you are a legal resident/ citizen of the US. You can just place NOT APPLICABLE in the space for the SSN.

Thanks very much for giving me the link for the Missouri endorsement. I have a few questions about it:
1. I can fill in the Missouri Endorsement form at home except for Section VI which needs to be verified by a Notary Public? Will any Notary Public do, or do I need to go to PRC to have it notified there?
3. The form is asking for a license number (Section III). Yes, I did pass NCLEX California, but I don’t have the actual nursing license. How do I get the license if I’m in the Philippines? I don’t have an SSN. I have no way of getting to Cali since I don’t have any kind of visa.
4. “You need to have a credentials evaluation service, approved by the board, send our office a course?by?course evaluation report or have the Commission on Graduates of Foreign Nursing Schools (CGFNS) send our office your CGFNS certificate. A list of credentials evaluation services can be found on our web site or by contacting our office. A Temporary Permit cannot be issued until the course?by?course report or CGFNS certificate and evidence that you were originally licensed in another state or territory by a recognized examination are received and evaluated.” — This part was a confusing for me. Does it mean that I need to send only one of the three requirements? Also, I’m not familiar with the requirements being asked because BON California didn’t ask for those before. Can you please explain the quoted statement for us?
These are my concerns for now. I hope you can shed light so that I (and some people, too) will understand this endorsement process.
Thanks so much and more power Ms. Joan!

Hi Ms Joan!
Another question please…I am widening my options so I’m going to ask if it’s easier to just reapply at Vermont and have it endorsed at Missouri?
Also, BON California sent me a letter last January saying I passed. Is that considered a ‘pass letter’? They said I need to enclose a pass letter with my application to Vermont. I don’t want to waste $10 just in case the one I have now is considered a pass letter.
I hope you can reply soon!
