Does my pharmacist license transfer to Oregon?

A pharmacist license transfers to Oregon through the NABP Electronic Licensure Transfer Program: NABP verifies your active license and NAPLEX history in your e-Profile and forwards them to the Oregon Board of Pharmacy, which issues the license once you pass its law exam. NAPLEX is not retaken; NAPLEX scores/license history transfer via the NABP eLTP (or NABP Score Transfer). Oregon requires passing the Oregon MPJE with a score of at least 75 BEFORE submitting the license transfer application; a passing result is valid for 12 months. The NAPLEX is not retaken. Oregon application fee: $450 (Reciprocity path = $350 application fee + $100 reciprocity fee; add a $45 fingerprint fee (about $495 total). A NABP Score Transfer path is $350 + $50 = $400 (+ $45 fingerprint). Separate NABP eLTP fees ($300 application + $100 per jurisdiction) and the MPJE exam fee also apply).

Verdict

Licensure by endorsement

The move into Oregon runs on two steps in sequence. First the NABP eLTP carries your license and NAPLEX record to the Oregon Board of Pharmacy; then Oregon's own law exam gates the license. Neither re-tests your pharmacy education — the eLTP is verification, and the law exam covers Oregon'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; transfer runs through the NABP eLTP and the Oregon Board makes the licensure decision. Oregon still administers the state-specific Oregon MPJE (score >= 75) and was not on NABP's Uniform MPJE early-adopter list as of 2026-07-21. The 1,440-hour requirement is generally satisfied by a transferring licensed pharmacist's degree/practice; OAR text confirmed via the public.law mirror of the Oregon Administrative Rules.
