How Rhode Island Certified Nurse Aide license verification works

A Certified Nurse Aide in Rhode Island is licensed by the RI 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: license_number profession license_type status issued expires secondary_license_type education city state.

Board note: RIDOH 'Nursing Assistant' board on the same lookup: Nursing Assistant (NA#####), Medication Aide. HHAs are not individually licensed in RI.
