MPJE requirements in Florida
Florida licenses pharmacists by examination once you have passed the NAPLEX and the MPJE, which the Florida Board of Pharmacy calls the Florida law exam, and documented 2,080 internship hours. Florida is on NABP’s list of jurisdictions using the Uniform MPJE.
From the Florida Board of Pharmacy’s licensure pages and Section 465.007, Florida Statutes, plus NABP’s UMPJE list. Checked October 12, 2026. Confirm current rules and fees with the Board.
The path for a US graduate
Apply for licensure by examination for US graduates through the Florida Board of Pharmacy.
Complete 2,080 hours in a Board-approved internship program and document them on Form B. All of the hours may be completed before you graduate. A supervising pharmacist or pharmacy manager cannot sign your Form B.
Register with NABP and pass both exams. If you transfer a NAPLEX score to Florida, it is valid for three years from the date you took it.
Already licensed in another state
If you passed the NAPLEX more than three years ago or hold a license elsewhere, check Florida’s licensure by endorsement route. Florida takes part in NABP’s Electronic Licensure Transfer Program (e-LTP). For license transfer, NABP’s list notes Florida accepts the MPJE or another nationally recognized exam.
Graduates of pharmacy programs outside the US
The Board requires 500 internship hours as a Florida pharmacy intern for non-US graduates, plus 1,580 internship or work-experience hours that don’t overlap with them, for 2,080 in total, along with the foreign graduate equivalency requirements in Florida law.
Common questions
Is the Florida law exam the same as the MPJE?
The Board refers to the MPJE as the Florida law exam. Florida is on NABP’s list of jurisdictions using the Uniform MPJE, so check NABP for the version and content you’ll sit.
Can I complete internship hours before I graduate?
Yes. Florida rules allow all internship hours to be completed before graduation.
