Effective January 27, 2012: Please be advised that the disclosure of your Social Security Number or Federal Tax Identification Number is
mandatory in order to process your application.
Any license or certificate application(s) received at the Maryland Board of Nursing without either a Social Security Number (SSN) or Federal Tax ID Number WILL NOT be processed. Applications without these numbers are incomplete.
The Board is required by federal and Maryland law to collect this information for the following purposes:
- Verification of identity with respect to final adverse actions related to your license or certificate (42 U.S.C. § 1320a-7e(b))
- Administration of the Child Support Enforcement Program (Md. Family Law Code Ann., § 10-119.3)
- Identification by the Maryland Department of Assessments and Taxation of new businesses in Maryland (Md. Health Occ. Code Ann., § 1-210)
Please understand that if the Board receives your application, but it is incomplete because there is NO Social Security Number or Federal Tax ID Number, your application WILL NOT be processed and WILL BE returned to you.

Certification Status & Renewal
- Verify a Nursing Assistant's Certification - A nursing assistant can be verified using name, certification number or partial social security number (addresses, and social security numbers do not appear for security reasons). The information can be printed for facility files. The Board asks that the on-line verification be used as the primary source for verification of certification. The Board discontinued printing certification cards as of April 1, 2007. Certification cards can be duplicated and there is a problem with imposters in the State. The on-line verification is secure and updated daily Monday through Saturday.
- Certified Nursing Assistant Online Certification Renewal - Certificate holders will be able to renew on-line 60 days before and 30 days after the expiration date of their certification (the 28th day of the certificate holder's birth month). Information about the web site is included in the renewal application that the CNA will receive. Instructions for using on-line renewal can be found on the web site. The verification web site shows the updated information within 2-4 days after renewing on-line.
