Texas Nurse Aide Registry Form 5505-NAR

Texas Nurse Aide Registry Form 5505-NAR is a document for nurse aides seeking entry into the Texas Nurse Aide Registry through reciprocity. This form allows those certified in other states to become certified in Texas without additional testing.

The form requires applicants to provide personal information, certification details from their current state, and verification that they meet Texas’s eligibility requirements. It includes sections for the applicant’s details and verification by the current state’s registry. This form streamlines recognizing out-of-state qualifications while ensuring the applicant meets Texas standards. It ultimately facilitates the legal employment of nurse aides moving to Texas from other states.

  • Review the Instructions

Underneath the ID number line, you will see a set of instructions leading you through the form completion. Please make sure to read them carefully. Hereunder, we have outlined the most important ones for your convenience:

  • The applicant must fill out all existing fields in Section 1 of the form;
  • Only mail the first section of the application to the state where you currently deliver nursing services for confirmation (except for the states in bold; their representatives do not have to fill out Section 2);
  • Once both sections are complete, the applicant will have to mail the whole form to the Texas NAR, along with the required supporting documentation;
  • Some states do not set an expiration date for certain papers. If you come from such a state, you still have to complete and send out the 5506-NAR Form. Plus, you have to provide an Employment Confirmation completed by your most recent employer (within the last two years). Attach the document to the form and mail it to the appropriate HHS office.
