Nurse Aide Registry

Certification of nurse aides and maintenance of the nurse aide abuse registry are responsibilities of the Board of Nursing. The Board also makes final certification decisions and takes disciplinary action against nurse aides who violate the law. The Nurse Aide Registry Program is staffed by the Division of Corporations, Business, and Professional Licensing.

Alaska statutes prohibit unlicensed practice. Specifically, AS 08.68.360 states that the practice of professional or practical nursing for compensation by a person who is not licensed, or whose license is suspended, or revoked, or expired, is declared to be inimical to the public welfare and to constitute a public nuisance.

Fraud Alert: Impersonation of Licensing Unit or Licensing Investigations Unit

Some applicants or licensees may receive a fraudulent email asking them to submit documents via a link provided in the email. These emails look very legitimate. If you are not expecting us to contact you or question the legitimacy of a communication from us, please reach out to us at 907-269-8124 to confirm.

Additionally, some licensees have recently reported being contacted by individuals falsely claiming to represent the Professional Licensing Investigations Unit. These callers or emailers allege that the licensee’s name is associated with criminal activity in multiple states.

Please be advised: These communications are fraudulent.
If you receive such a message and are unsure about its legitimacy, do not respond directly. Instead, contact the Investigations Unit by email at Investigations@Alaska.Gov. Be sure to include:
