Verdict
Licensure by endorsement
The move into Delaware runs on two steps in sequence. First the NABP eLTP carries your license and NAPLEX record to the Delaware Board of Pharmacy (Division of Professional Regulation); then Delaware's own law exam gates the license. Neither re-tests your pharmacy education — the eLTP is verification, and the law exam covers Delaware'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 Delaware board makes the licensure decision. Delaware uses the state-specific MPJE (not an announced UMPJE early adopter as of 2026-07-21). Fee schedule lists a single $226 pharmacist application fee; the Board does not publish a separate reciprocity-only fee line.
