Transfer Your Pharmacy License to New Hampshire: Reciprocity & Endorsement (2026)
Last verified: 2026-07-21 · source: New Hampshire Board of Pharmacy (NH Office of Professional Licensure and Certification) ↗
Yes — New Hampshire accepts an eLTP transfer of your license, then gates it behind the state's own pharmacy-law exam. NABP handles the verification through your e-Profile and the New Hampshire Board of Pharmacy (NH Office of Professional Licensure and Certification) makes the licensing decision. NAPLEX is not retaken; license history transfers via the NABP e-LTP (required for pharmacist endorsement under rule Plc 313.03). New Hampshire is not on NABP's MPJE/UMPJE list because it administers its own New Hampshire pharmacy jurisprudence examination (its 'NH MPJE,' covering RSA 318, RSA 318-B and the Ph rules, delivered through ProV), which applicants must pass.. The NAPLEX is never repeated. Fee: $16 (New Hampshire pharmacist application fee $16.00; the biennial pharmacist license fee is $250 ($270 for an immunizing pharmacist including the immunization endorsement); separate NABP e-LTP fees apply ($300 application + $100 per jurisdiction) plus the NH jurisprudence exam fee).

Verdict
Licensure by endorsement
The move into New Hampshire runs on two steps in sequence. First the NABP eLTP carries your license and NAPLEX record to the New Hampshire Board of Pharmacy (NH Office of Professional Licensure and Certification); then New Hampshire's own law exam gates the license. Neither re-tests your pharmacy education — the eLTP is verification, and the law exam covers New Hampshire's pharmacy law. Open the e-Profile transfer early, because NABP's verification and scheduling the law exam are the two steps that set your timeline, not the application itself.
No interstate compact for pharmacy; NH licenses pharmacists by endorsement under HB 594/RSA 310:17 (rule part Plc 313), and Plc 313.03 requires the license to be transferred via the NABP e-LTP. NH administers its own state pharmacy jurisprudence exam (NH MPJE) via ProV and is therefore not on NABP's MPJE/UMPJE list. full_reciprocity is set false because that state law exam is required; whether every endorsement applicant must sit it under the substantially-similar framework should be confirmed with the board. Fee/exam values were confirmed via search grounding because oplc.nh.gov blocks automated fetches (Akamai edge 'Access Denied').
