Pharmacy License from Texas to New Hampshire: Does It Transfer? (2026)
Does New Hampshire accept a Texas pharmacist license?
A pharmacist license transfers from Texas to New Hampshire by endorsement — there is no automatic reciprocity, but you do not start over. Apply to the New Hampshire Board of Pharmacy (NH Office of Professional Licensure and Certification), verify your Texas license, and meet New Hampshire's endorsement requirements. 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.

Verdict
Licensure by endorsement
Your Texas license transfers into New Hampshire through the NABP Electronic Licensure Transfer Program — NABP forwards your license and NAPLEX history to the New Hampshire Board of Pharmacy (NH Office of Professional Licensure and Certification) — but New Hampshire gates the license behind its own pharmacy-law exam. Coming from Texas neither speeds this up nor slows it down; the eLTP is origin-neutral, so the timeline below is New Hampshire's standard out-of-state queue. Open the e-Profile transfer and book the law exam as early as New Hampshire allows.
What's different between Texas and New Hampshire
Computed from both states' verified data rows, in both directions, and from the route every other origin gets into New Hampshire. Exam notes are our summary of each board's published rules, with sources below.
- Route, each way
Texas to New Hampshire (this page): Licensure by endorsement.
New Hampshire to Texas (the reverse move): Licensure by endorsement.
The route is the same in both directions.
- Does coming from Texas matter?
Coming from Texas does not change the answer: every origin (the other 49 states and DC) gets the same result for a move into New Hampshire.
- Application fee
New Hampshire lists $16 for an out-of-state applicant and Texas lists $255 for the reverse move; neither may be the full cost.
- Processing time
New Hampshire lists about 2 weeks; Texas lists about 8 weeks for the reverse move.
New Hampshire's longest listed wait is 6 weeks shorter than Texas's.
- Exam rules on record
New Hampshire and Texas carry different exam notes (our summaries, below); any state law or jurisprudence exam is listed with each state's requirements.
- New Hampshire (this move): 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.
- Texas (the reverse move): NAPLEX is not retaken; license history transfers via the NABP Licensure Transfer (eLTP). Texas requires passing the Texas Pharmacy Jurisprudence Examination (the MPJE for Texas), minimum score 75, before the reciprocal license is granted. TX had not adopted the Uniform MPJE (UMPJE) as of 2026-07-21.
What changes, Texas → New Hampshire
| Texas (current) | New Hampshire (destination) | |
|---|---|---|
| Application fee | $255 (Texas reciprocity application fee $255 paid to TSBP; the NABP Licensure Transfer/eLTP fees ($300 application + $100 per jurisdiction, 2026-07-21) and the MPJE exam fee are separate and paid to NABP) | $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) |
| Processing time | ~8 weeks (TSBP advises allowing at least 8 weeks to review the application and supplemental documents (older reciprocity instructions stated 6 weeks); excludes NABP preliminary/eLTP processing (~4-6 weeks) and MPJE result reporting (~3 weeks); licenses are issued weekly, generally on Fridays) | ~2 weeks (OPLC states routine, complete license applications are processed in roughly 14 days; excludes NABP e-LTP review and jurisprudence-exam scheduling) |
| Licensing authority | Texas State Board of Pharmacy | New Hampshire Board of Pharmacy (NH Office of Professional Licensure and Certification) |
