Provisional Licenses for
Non-licensed Persons
House Bill 145, Board of Examiners of Nursing Home Administrators—Non-licensed Persons–Provisional Licensure, was passed by the House on February 24, 2017 and was passed by the Senate on March 29, 2017. It was signed into law by Governor Hogan on April 11, 2017 . The law became effective October 1, 2017. You may access all details on this legislation at the following link:
Non-licensed Persons – Provisional License
HB 454 Health Occupations - Licenses, Certificates, and Registrations - Lawful Presence and Identification Numbers:
In accordance with HB 454, as of October 1, 2023, a health occupations board is prohibited from requiring as a condition for licensure, certification, or registration that an applicant (1) provide proof of lawful presence in the United States, or (2) have a Social Security number or individual taxpayer identification number.
Applicants who do not hold an SSN or ITIN and are applying with alternative documentation as permitted by the Department of Health and Human Services under section 466(A)(13) of the Social Security Act, (the “Act”) must submit the appropriate documentation as permitted by the Act. The applicant should contact the Board at

Criminal History Records Checks - Required
Per § 9-302.1 of the Annotated Code of Maryland, you must undergo a criminal history records check in order to be granted a Long-Term Care Administrator License by the Board, and this is inclusive of Provisional Licenses. Current licensees who have not yet had a criminal history records check done, must undergo this required screening one time as a part of their renewal process.
If an applicant is currently licensed by another State of Maryland Health Occupations board and has previously undergone a criminal history records check with that board, he/she is responsible for providing this Board with a verifiable copy of this criminal history records check. Until the Board Office receives notification of your criminal history records check, you will not be able to receive your license.
Important Note: Administrator-in-Training and Endorsement applicants, please have your criminal history records check completed by the application deadline that corresponds to your intended Credentials Committee Meeting date.
You will need these two numbers to proceed with processing your background check:
