Licensure and Registration Verification

Online Verification

This interactive site will allow you to ascertain current South Dakota license status for all nursing professions and certification status for Certified Nurse Aides. 

  • You may conduct your verification search using license number, name, and/or social security number.  It is strongly recommended that you use the license number; if an individual holds multiple licenses (such as RN and CNP), the name or social security number will not be sufficient.
  • The Verification Report that you will be able to generate is considered a South Dakota Board of Nursing document.  You may download and/or print the Verification Report as primary source verification.

Please feel free to contact the Board of Nursing via email or telephone (605) 362-2760 with your comments or questions.
