I am going to be certified in Arkansas to be a CNA. I will be moving to Louisiana soon. Will my license transfer over or will I have to retake my classes or will I just have to retake my state test?

    If you already are Licensed, Certified, Registered or State Approved in your own State and want to move to another state, you will need to request reciprocity. This means that you are asking the new state to recognize the approval you received from your home state. Contact the State registry in your home state and request a “Application for Enrollment By Reciprocity”. Ask them if you should send the completed form to them or to the state to which you are moving. The contact information for the state registry can be found at
