To be qualified to serve as a Nursing Home Administrator (NHA), an individual must complete an approved training course, field experience/practicum, and pass an examination(s) approved by the board. Upon successful completion of the application requirements, a license is issued. 

BELTSS utilizes an online service called the “BELTSS Online Portal” to manage individuals contact information, applications, and licenses. All applicants must apply online. You must become a registered user prior to submitting a new application. An individual can only have one BELTSS Online Portal account. If you already have a BELTSS account, then you must use your current account to submit your application. You must pay the applicable fees online before you are considered an active applicant - all fees paid are non-refundable.

• $150 to open a file with the board and begin the licensure process
• $100 optional fee for review of education and/or experience to determine how many of the requirements for licensure you may already have completed. You may choose to request this service to help you decide whether or not you want to begin the licensure process. This fee is charged only if you seek the determination from the board prior to opening a file. If you seek the determination and then follow through with an official application to begin the licensure process, the $100 fee is applied to the $150 filing fee provided you apply to open a file with the board within one year of paying the $50 review fee.
