The new centers will be located in Sydney, Australia; Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver, Canada; Frankfurt, Germany; Mumbai, New Delhi, Hyderabad, Bangalore, and Chennai, India; Mexico City, Mexico; Chiyoda-ku, and Yokohoma, Japan; and Taipei, Taiwan. These sites are in addition to centers in London, England; Seoul, South Korea; and Hong Kong, which have been operational since January 2005.

Administration of the NCLEX-RN examination overseas does not contradict or circumvent any current board of nursing process or requirement. All international candidates are required to apply to the board of nursing in the state or territory where they wish to be licensed before registering for the NCLEX-RN examination. Candidates who elect to take the NCLEX-RN exam at an international site will pay an extra US$150.00 when scheduling the exam, in addition to the NCLEX-RN exam fee of US$200.00.
