Application
Alabama does not have a process for individuals to fill out for reciprocity. Employers need to contact the state agency to have your name placed on the Alabama Nurse Aide Registry. The only way to be registered in Alabama is to join a nursing facility and have them submit your name once the facility has verified and confirmed your active certificate in your current state.
