Reporting
No APRN application or fee at renewal if the RN license stays current and recognition does not lapse; the licensee sends recertification evidence (fax, email, or mail) to the Board.

Verified on the official Missouri Board of Nursing APRN Document of Recognition renewal instructions. Nationally certified APRNs have no separate state CE requirement — maintaining the anchor RN license and active national certification (with the Board notified of each recertification) is the requirement, so totalHours is 0 for the standard path. The 60-hour category is recorded as the only APRN-specific CE option: the alternative maintenance path for non-certified APRNs (800 practice hours + 60 specialty contact hours per 2 years; if documentation is not received before expiration, reinstatement requires national certification). Missouri RN licenses expire April 30 of odd-numbered years; compact-RN holders without a Missouri RN license renew in a February 1–April 30 window in odd-numbered years. The APRN expiration is the earlier of the RN-license expiration and the national-certification expiration. A collaborative practice agreement is required to provide delegated medical acts.
