Score Transfer Process
UMPJE Score Transfer
NABP’s score transfer program allows you to transfer your NAPLEX or UMPJE score to additional jurisdictions in which you wish to obtain a license to practice pharmacy. MPJE results cannot be transferred because the MPJE is unique to the state/jurisdiction in which you seek licensure. Participating in the score transfer program will allow your score to be applied to the requirements of the jurisdiction to which you transfer the score. Licensure decisions are made at the sole discretion of the boards of pharmacy.
The score transfer program differs significantly from NABP’s eLTP, which is a reciprocity service that NABP provides for licensed pharmacists. You may apply for license transfer through eLTP only if you are already licensed in another jurisdiction. Licenses awarded through eLTP are considered licenses by licensure transfer.
Currently, all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Guam, and Puerto Rico participate in the score transfer program. The validity period of a transferred score varies from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.
You should contact the relevant board of pharmacy before purchasing a score transfer to make sure you understand the jurisdiction’s licensure requirements, current board fees, and updated participation information.
If you request a score transfer, you must complete all examination requirements, as determined by your primary jurisdiction for licensure, including any locally administered examinations (which may require you to travel to the score transfer jurisdiction). Primary jurisdictions can refuse to allow your score to be transferred if you do not complete your examination requirements.
You have 2 opportunities to purchase a score transfer online via your e-Profile:
When you purchase your exam. After you are granted eligibility, you will be prompted to purchase your exam. You may purchase score transfers at that time. You may also log in to your e-Profile to purchase score transfers at any time before taking the exam. If you cancel the exam application, all score transfers purchased before taking the exam will be refunded.
Up to 89 days after taking the exam. After you take the examination, you may log in to your e-Profile and purchase score transfers. You are advised to purchase score transfers as soon as possible; the option may no longer be available if you wait until the last day. Score transfers purchased after taking the exam are nonrefundable.
See NABP’s terms for purchases here.
Additional fees for transfers to certain jurisdictions may apply. Refer to your jurisdiction for information regarding additional fees.
Score transfers will be processed whether you pass or fail the exam. If you retake the exam and wish to transfer your score again, you must purchase another score transfer.
Before you take an exam, you may change your score transfer jurisdiction at no additional cost by sending a request to ExamServices@nabp.pharmacy. Your request should include:
Your name
Your NABP e-Profile ID
The original jurisdiction requested for score transfer
The jurisdiction you wish to transfer your score to
You may not request a change of jurisdiction after you take the examination.
If you are seeking initial licensure, the UMPJE score transfer option will only be available after you have passed the NAPLEX. UMPJE score transfers will only be available for jurisdictions that match your NAPLEX jurisdiction and NAPLEX score transfer jurisdictions.
If you pass the NAPLEX after passing the UMPJE, the UMPJE score transfer option will become available, and you may purchase both NAPLEX and UMPJE score transfers during the 89-day period after your exam date for a passed NAPLEX.
These restrictions apply to all candidates purchasing the UMPJE through the standard process or the early administration option.
Candidates who select the Licensed Pharmacists pathway during the UMPJE Eligibility Application process will not be eligible to purchase a score transfer. UMPJE scores will be transferred through the eLTP application.
