[Cnaprogram] Social security numbers to be required by OSBN

[John Goodine]

Hello,

To decrease the chance of fraud in obtaining licenses from individuals who live overseas and do not intend to work in the US or Oregon, the Oregon State Board of Nursing will require Social Security Numbers from all applicants (per Oregon Revised Statute 25.785) according to this schedule:

  *   Applicants for a new license or certificate: beginning January 1, 2018
  *   Applicants seeking to renew their license or certificate:  beginning April 1, 2018.

All SSNs will be disclosed to the entities and used for the purposes listed in Oregon Administrative Rule 851-001-0030 (2).  Refusal to provide a SSN will result in denial of licensure/certification.  This denial will be reported to the National Practitioner Databank, as authorized by 42USC Section 666(a) (13).  Applicants who are currently working on a US Visa (H1B, I-766 or other current federal government form authorizing them to work in the United States), may submit copies of their passport and the Visa along with their application.  Applicants who are attending school on an F1 Visa must provide a copy of the I-94 and I-20 signed by the designated school authority."

If you have further questions, please feel free to contact me or John Goodine at John.Goodine at state.or.us<mailto:John.Goodine at state.or.us>.
