Keep it safe
Everything here lives in this browser on this device. Nothing is sent to us or anyone else. Keep your in-service certificates for 4 years. Back it up before you switch phones or clear your browser.
How to renew
- Finish 24 in-service hours during the cycle and before you renew, covering all 7 areas on this card. Find board-approved courses on CE Broker's Florida CNA search. Certified partway through the cycle? Rule 64B9-15.011 prorates it to 1 hour per month from your certification month.
- Check the work rule. To stay on the registry you must have done nursing-related work for pay within the last 24 consecutive months. If not, the board says you reapply.
- Check your fingerprints. Florida now requires electronic fingerprinting for CNAs; the board can't approve the renewal without it. See FL Health Source background screening and check yours in CHAI.
- Renew online at Florida Health Source (Renew A License), then Renew My License in the MQA Services Portal. It shows up no later than 90 days before your date.
- Pay $55 before midnight Eastern on your date. By mail instead: print the summary and send a cashier's check or money order to MQA, P.O. Box 6320, Tallahassee, FL 32314-6320. If your employer gave you an Other Payer Code, enter it instead of a card.
- Don't send your certificates to the board. Keep them for 4 years in case of an audit (rule 64B9-15.011).
| Fee (board renewal page) | Active to active |
|---|---|
| Renew before it expires | $55 |
| After it expires | $105 |
| After the 120-day delinquency notice | $160 |
Each includes the $5 unlicensed activity fee. All fees: the board's CNA renewal page.
If you miss midnight
- An unrenewed license goes delinquent after the date. Renewing then costs $105, or $160 after the 120-day notice.
- Board: "The license will go delinquent after the expiration date and Null/Void 2 years after the expiration date. Once Null/Void, the license cannot be reactivated."
- A null and void license means applying again and meeting the current requirements.
