- Full state license
- $500-$1,500
Nevada is not in the 35-state enacted list modeled here. Separately, the Commission is not accepting multistate-license applications in any state, so there is no usable compact route today.
Last verified July 23, 2026. Informational only — state boards and compact commissions control eligibility, timing, fees, and scope.
