Domestic Test Centers

For candidates seeking licensure in the U.S. and Australia, domestic test centers are those within the U.S. and American Samoa, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands and the U.S. Virgin Islands. For candidates seeking licensure/registration in Canada, domestic test centers are those within Canadian provinces/territories and the mainland U.S. (not including territories). 

You can schedule an appointment at a domestic test center through your candidate profile or by calling Pearson VUE NCLEX Candidate Services.

International Test Centers

The list of available test centers outside of the U.S. is subject to change without prior notice. Candidates will be notified in the event that the test center at which they are scheduled to take their exam becomes unavailable and may reschedule the exam at another available test center. If, under these circumstances, candidates choose to reschedule the exam at a test center in the United States, the international scheduling fee will be refunded.

Candidates can schedule an appointment for an international test center either online through their candidate profile or over the phone by contacting Pearson VUE NCLEX Candidate Services.
