There are several testing sites and dates offered for both exams throughout the year. Review and download exam instructions and requirements at the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (NABP) website.  \nMinnesota Board of Pharmacy requires that a completed eligibility application for pharmacy licensure, processing fees, and supporting documents required by the state of Minnesota are received before approval will be granted to sit for the NAPLEX and MPJE examinations. Application and registration fees to sit for the NAPLEX and MPJE examinations are payable to the NABP. Additional instructions and fee information is available on the NABP website.  \nRequirements to Sit for the Examinations  \nIn order to sit for the NAPLEX and MPJE exams, the Minnesota Board of Pharmacy requires the following items.  \n1. Minnesota Eligibility Application for Pharmacist Licensure  \nThis application is found online at the Minnesota Board of Pharmacy’s website under New Pharmacist. You may apply online or by mail using the application found online.  \n2. Application Fee  \nIf applying online, you can pay your fees online. If you apply in person or by mail, include a check for the full application fee made payable to the Minnesota Board of Pharmacy. All fees are nonrefundable.  \n3. Criminal Background Check and Fee Processing  \nYou must pay the criminal background check fee before sitting for the exam. Minnesota law and Board policy require that all new pharmacist applicants complete a fingerprint-based criminal background check prior to licensure approval. See Minn. Stat. § 214.075. You will be able to take the exams before completing your fingerprint-based check, however the fee must be paid for beforehand. Fees are payable with the application fee and are nonrefundable.  \n4. Official College Transcript – Final  \nSubmit an official transcript with the graduation date and type of degree granted to the Board. If the transcript will not be available prior to the exam, applicants should request a confirmation of graduation letter to be sent after graduation. This letter should come from your college of pharmacy or your registrar’s office. Faxed or e-mailed copies will not be accepted. All candidates who submit the confirmation of graduation letter must make sure that they submit the final transcript as soon as possible. Your transcript must be received by the Board before your exam score(s) can be released.  \nNote: University of Minnesota students need not obtain this letter as this information is automatically provided to the Board.  \nRev. 11/2025  \nMinnesota Board of Pharmacy  \n335 Randolph Ave, Suite 230 | Saint Paul, MN 55102  \nFax: (651) 215-0951 | E-mail: [pharmacy.board@state. mn.us](pharmacy.board@state. mn.us 1/2)[ 1/2](pharmacy.board@state. mn.us 1/2)  \nSupporting Internship Affidavits  \nA total of 1600 hours required.
