How Louisiana Certified Nurse Aide license verification works

A Certified Nurse Aide in Louisiana is licensed by the LA 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: certification_number status certified_from certified_to original_certification retest_required_by name.

Board note: LA-TLC: LDH Health Standards Nurse Aide Registry (tlc.dhh.la.gov 'CNA / DSW Search'), WebForms, plain HTTPS, no captcha; search by name (+ optional DOB / SSN); no certificate-number field so a numbered claim is matched on the name search rows; statuses Certified / Not Certified; HHA and medication aides are not on this registry; DSW registry moved to adverseactions.ldh.la.gov (not built).

`name`	Last name or declared alias matches; first name exact or nickname
`license_type`	The record is a Certified Nurse Aide license, strictly (no near-miss types)
