How Illinois Certified Nurse Aide license verification works

A Certified Nurse Aide in Illinois is licensed by the IL Nurse Aide Registry. PrimaryCheck looks the license up live at the board's public verification system (board lookup) by license number, or by name when no number is supplied. The record the board publishes is captured as evidence, hashed, and rendered into a proof PDF.

Fields returned for this board: name work_eligibility administrative_findings background_check last_employment_verification training competency_evaluations program_codes.

Board note: IL-HCWR: IDPH Health Care Worker Registry (ASP.NET WebForms, plain HTTPS). Name-only search (no certificate number; the registry id p= is accepted as the claim number); 'Search Limit Reached' on common names → ambiguous; CNA = training program CNA-* + competency P + Work Eligibility Eligible. hha/cma are not separate programs on the HCWR (only CNA / DD AIDE training rows seen) → not covered. No DOB published.
