CNA Renewals
Missouri has 7,200 CNA’s not renewed for 1/1/2025. Please check the registry for your status.
All CNAs are required to renew certification every 24 months. Each renewal requires 8 hours of nursing services to be provided for every 24-month period. Proof of nursing service can include a W2, or paystub from your employer. All renewals are now electronic through our online registry (TMU) and a $20.00 fee is required.
If you have never logged into TMU Registry to setup your profile, then you will first need to contact the Health Education Unit at 573-526-5686 or CNARegistry@health.mo.gov for assistance. After your profile is set up, before each renewal period a text message and email will be sent to you 60 days prior to your inactive date. This notification will prevent any delay in keeping your certification active.
If you already have setup your profile, then please see the renewal instructions.
Please contact the Health Education Unit for any questions at 573-526-5686 or CNARegistry@health.mo.gov.
