Answer:
To transfer your Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) license from Ohio to Texas, you need to request reciprocity. Here’s how to do it:
- Contact the Nurse Aide Registry in Ohio and request the Application for Enrollment By Reciprocity. Ask whether to send the completed form to Ohio or Texas.
- Next, reach out to the Texas Nurse Aide Registry to confirm where to send your application. Some applicants have successfully faxed their requests directly to Texas.
When you contact the agencies, note the names and phone numbers of the representatives you speak with for future reference. If faxing or mailing is acceptable, do so promptly. Confirm the correct fax number or mailing address, and send your application to the attention of the person you spoke with.
Be prepared to include the following documents:
- Copy of your Social Security card
- Copy of your driver’s license or another photo ID
- Copy of your current state approval
- Documentation of employment in a nursing home within the past two years (e.g., a recent pay stub)
Inform them of your previous and new addresses, and where to send your new card. Additional information may be requested.
If you encounter an automated line when calling, listen carefully and take notes. Always try to connect with a real person for specific guidance.
