Per § 9-302.1 of the Annotated Code of Maryland, license applicants must undergo a criminal history records check in order to be granted a Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) or Assisted Living Manager License by the Board; this also includes Provisional Licenses. The Board may not issue a license if the criminal history record information required under § 9–302.1 has not been received.
You will need these two numbers to proceed with processing your background check:
BLTCA’s Authorization Number: 1600001756
Originating Agency Identifier (ORI) Number : MD920529Z
When completing the "Position Applied" field under the Agency section of the Livescan Pre-Registration Application, you must enter the specific occupation for which you are seeking a license. You should enter either "Nursing Home Administrator" or "Assisted Living Manager."
