If the expiration date is drawing near on your California NCLEX Pass Letter, we have been advised that the following has been very helpful in many instances resulting in 1-year extensions.  The CA State Board of Registered Nursing Licensing Program responds via email and notifies you that your file has been extended for a year and will indicate the new expiration date.  They will further indicate that there will be no other correspondence concerning this and that it is important for you to keep the email as evidence of your extension.

Send your email to:  brn_licensing@dca.ca.gov

Prepare a formal letter in the body of the email as follows:

Address:

Board of Registered Nursing
P.O. Box 944210
Sacramento, CA 95834-2100
U.S.A.
