Arizona State Board of Nursing – Information to know when applying for nursing assistant certification.
CITIZENSHIP/NATIONALITY/ALIEN STATUS DOCUMENTATION

Federal law, 8 U.S.C. § 1641, and State law, A.R.S. § 1-501, require documentation of citizenship or nationality for certification. If the
documentation does not demonstrate that the applicant is a United States citizen, national, or a person described in specific categories, the
applicant will not be eligible for certification in Arizona. All applicants must submit documentation regarding their citizenship/nationality/alien
status with their application. See attached list A & B for specific documentation required.
FINGERPRINTING

According to A.R.S. § 32-1606(B) (16), each applicant for initial licensure or certification is required to submit a full set of fingerprints. If you have
not submitted a fingerprint card with your application, one will be mailed to you after we receive your application. It is important for you to use
that specific fingerprint card because we have Arizona State Board of Nursing information printed on the card. It can take 4 to 5 weeks to
receive fingerprint results. You will not be certified until results are received. A copy of a fingerprint clearance card cannot be substituted for
this requirement.
FELONY CONVICTIONS

According to A.R.S. § 32-1606(B), an applicant for certified nursing assistant is not eligible for certification if the applicant has any felony
convictions and has not received an absolute discharge from the sentences for all felony convictions. The absolute discharge from the sentence
for all felony conviction(s) must be received 3 or more years before submitting this application. If you cannot prove that the absolute discharge
date is 3 or more years, the Board will notify you that you do not meet the requirements for certification.
I have read and understand, not only what documentation is required when submitting the application (Negative TB test, CPR for Healthcare
Providers, AZ DPS Fingerprint Clearance card & photo ID), but also understand the health requirements for the nursing assistant program. I have read
the above information about the Arizona State Board of Nursing mandated requirements regarding citizenship, nationality, alien status
documentation, finger printing and felony convictions.

FALL 2016
Application for Admission to AHS 114 – Nursing Assistant
Additional Information from the Arizona State Board of Nursing
Starting June 13, 2016 all each graduating students will need to have proof of legal presence in the United
States on file with D and S (Headmaster) in order for the student to be scheduled for the manual skills and
written CNA exams. All Nursing Assistant training programs will need to collect the document, photocopy
or scan the document and upload it to Headmaster upon registration or program completion. Ideally, this
identification document should be the same as the ID document(s) the student uses for state testing (e.g.
AZ driver license or passport). The name on the document should exactly match the name entered in the
system. A comprehensive list of documents acceptable for proof of legal presence is available
at: http://azbn.gov/licensure-certification/citizenship-alien-status/
On July 1, 2016, all CNAs who were certified by the Arizona State Board of Nursing (Board) before July 1,
2016 will be issued a license to practice as a nursing assistant (LNA). The $100 initial fee for licensure as a
nursing assistant will be waived for all nursing assistants certified before July 1, 2016. This license will
expire on the same day and year as the previous CNA certificate was due to expire. To renew the LNA
license, a $50 fee will be charged. A nursing assistant who does not want to convert his/her CNA to an LNA
may request to have the LNA removed and be listed on the CNA Registry only. An LNA who does not renew
the LNA, will be required to renew the CNA to remain on the CNA Registry. Please visit our website (insert
link) for additional information.
