How Maryland Certified Nurse Aide license verification works

A Certified Nurse Aide in Maryland is licensed by the MD 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 license_number license_type status sub_status issued expires renewed discipline_flag.

Board note: Same CHART site as MD nursing: CNA-I/CNA-II/GNA under 'Nursing Assistants & Aides', CMA under 'Certified Medicine Aide (CMA)', HHA under 'Home Health Aide'
