The Registry

If you change your contact information (name, address, telephone number, email address) After you have been certified as a nurse aide, you must inform the State Board of Nursing about any changes in your contact information. 

To change your address, telephone number, or email address after you have been certified, you may: 

• Change your address on the State Board of Nursing website at dpo.colorado.gov/UpdateContact, or
• Send an Address/Name Change/Duplicate License Request Form (to the State Board of Nursing: Division of Professions and Occupations State Board of Nursing 1560 Broadway, Suite 1350 Denver, CO 80202 

Name and address changes are required by law to be submitted within thirty (30) days of the change. 

The Address/Name Change form will ask for both the old information and the new information, including your name, address, Social Security number, and telephone number. If you change your name, you must send with your Address/Name. Change forms a copy of a marriage certificate, divorce decree, passport, or other court document that changes your name.

The Board will not be able to send you a notice to renew your certification if your email address on the Registry is incorrect. You risk losing your nurse aide certification if you do not tell the Board of Nursing about an address change.
