keep a record of accessing the registries in their business files. This site gives an original confirmation number with every social security number (SSN), every search. It is date and time specific. The confirmation number is the employer's proof of access.
Start Registry Verification
Enter up to 12 SSNs to verify. Use only SSNs. Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers (ITINs) are not SSNs and will not return valid search results on this page. Use the TAB key to move through the fields.
Nursing homes must verify that medication aides are listed in good standing on both the N.C. Medication Aide Registry and the N.C. Nurse Aide I Registry, and have no substantiated findings on the N.C. Health Care Personnel Registry before allowing them to work [N.C. § 131E-270 (PDF)].
Additional requirements for registry access/registry verification may apply. Employers should ask their appropriate regulatory agency for guidance. See also: N.C. Division of Health Service Regulation's Rules and Regulations page.
