Last verified: 2026-07-21 · source: New Hampshire Board of Pharmacy (NH Office of Professional Licensure and Certification) ↗
A pharmacist license transfers from New York 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 New York 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 New York 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. 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.. Coming from New York 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.
