Likely pathway †
Delaware does not have multistate APRN licenses. For APRN practice in Delaware, the evidence says an applicant must hold a Delaware-issued APRN license and also a valid RN license. The supplied evidence also indicates APRN applicants must complete a Board-approved supervised practice plan. Could not confirm an endorsement-only or compact-based APRN shortcut from the available official evidence.

Processing time †
Could not confirm Delaware APRN processing or issuance times from the supplied official evidence. The FAQ says materials are submitted for review at the next Board meeting, but that is not a license issuance timeframe.
View source
Compact considerations †
Delaware participates in the Nurse Licensure Compact for RN/LPN multistate licensure, but it does not have multistate APRN licenses. The compact materials distinguish RN/LPN multistate licensure from APRN licensure.
View source
Application requirements †
Could not confirm a complete Delaware APRN application checklist or all filing steps. The official FAQ says to log in to DELPROS and submit an APRN application, a Temporary Permit for APRN application, a letter from the potential supervising APRN or physician, and an APRN Report of Collaborative Agreement Change for Board review. The exam page also says to use DELPROS and register first.

License verification †
Could not confirm APRN verification rules from official evidence. The supplied materials do not show a Delaware APRN verification process. For RN/LPN, Delaware says it does not issue written verifications and directs applicants to NurSys or NCSBN online verification, but that is not APRN-specific.
