Nebraska is listed by the IMLCC as a member that can serve as a State of Principal License. Eligible physicians can use the compact as an expedited route to a Nebraska license, which the state board still issues.
The IMLC offers an expedited route to additional state licenses for eligible physicians, including a Nebraska license. Eligibility is set by the compact, so check the IMLCC information for physicians before applying. The Nebraska board still issues the license.
The IMLC covers physicians only. Nurse practitioners and physician assistants should check licensing requirements directly with the relevant state board.
6 of the 6 bordering states are IMLC members: Colorado, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, South Dakota, Wyoming.
Counts use shared land/river borders, exclude open-water-only and point-only contacts, and include the District of Columbia where adjacent. Count the named qualifying neighbors and divide the list into qualifying and other recorded statuses; no status is inferred for an unrecorded IMLC state.
