The path for a new graduate
Use the Board's application for initial licensure by examination. It isn't for license transfer.

Register with NABP and score at least 75 on each. Results stay valid for two years.
Already licensed in another state
Georgia requires you to reciprocate from the first state where you were licensed by examination, with a current license in good standing, and to pass the Georgia MPJE. The Board notes that pharmacists licensed in California before 2004 must take both the NAPLEX and MPJE.
