CNA License Status?
How do I follow up on the status of my CNA license after I take the exam?

The Gateway-In Project© recommends checking with the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) for license status:

To check the status of your CNA license, visit https://cvl.cdph.ca.gov/SearchPage.aspx. Please wait 30 days before contacting The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) for an update.

If you need to contact CDPH, find their general contact information at https://www.cdph.ca.gov/Pages/contact_us.aspx.

You can also call them directly at 1-916-327-2445. The phone line will prompt you to input your social security number and the automatic system will inform you if you are certified or not. This is the phone number that employers will call to check as well.

Please note we do not have access to the status of your CNA license, excluding the public resources above. It is up to you to follow up for this information. Please reach out to your Coordinator if you need assistance with navigating this process.
