Attention – New Law Effective April 1, 2022: Implicit Bias Training Required for License and Certificate Renewal
License and certification renewals can take 5 to 10 days to be processed. If a renewal applicant is required to complete a background check as part of the renewal process, additional processing time beyond 10 days is required.
You may no longer change your name based on a renewal application.
In
order to officially change your name in the MBON database, you
are required to submit a Name Change Form and appropriate
legal documentation (marriage certificate/abstract, a divorce decree/dissolution showing name change
clause (with judge’s signature), or a court record indicating a name
change, based on the regulation under COMAR 10.27.01.10D(2)(b))
Advanced Practice
Nurses: You must provide the Board
with a copy of your current national certification.
Please scan and
email it to

If your national certification is not current
with the Board at the time your renewal is processed, your APRN will not be
renewed.
