iv lost my cna certificate/paper card, how do i get a new one ?

Step 1: Contact your state's nursing assistant registry

The first step is to contact the nursing assistant registry in the state where you are certified. You can find contact information for your state's registry online or by calling the National Nurse Aide Association (NNAA).

Step 2: Provide your identifying information

When you contact the registry, you will need to provide your name, social security number, and birth date. You may also be asked to provide your CNA certification number.

Step 3: Pay the replacement fee

There is usually a fee associated with replacing a lost or damaged CNA certificate. The fee varies from state to state, but it is typically around $15-$25.

Step 4: Receive your new certificate

Once you have paid the replacement fee, the registry will mail you a new CNA certificate. The certificate will usually arrive within 10-14 days.

Important tips:

* If you have moved since you became certified, be sure to update your address with the registry.

* If you change your name, you will need to contact the registry to have your certificate updated.

* Keep your CNA certificate in a safe place. If you lose your certificate again, you will have to pay the replacement fee again.
