Public Registry of LPNs
The real-time Public Registry of LPNs assists the public in identifying a person as a Licensed Practical Nurse registered with the CLPNA and determining the nurse鈥檚 current registration status. This information is not designed or intended to be used for any other purpose.
You may search the Public Registry using one or more of the following criteria: last name, first name, or registration number. The more criteria you input, the more specific a search you will initiate.
If the LPN you are searching for does not appear in the results, try a simpler search such as ONLY registration number or ONLY last name.
In accordance with Alberta鈥檚 Health Professions Act and the guidelines of the Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA), the Public Registry publishes the name, registration number, registration type, the practice permit effective and expiry date, authorization for restricted activities requiring advanced authorization, and conditions on practice.
The Public Registry includes the register type of a practice permit for current and previous members for the last five years. If a practice permit is suspended or cancelled, the Public Registry will also state the reason.
Employer Verification of LPNs
Authorized personnel (human resources, managers, etc.) can sign up for Employer Verification of LPNs to confirm the current or future registration status of LPNs at your facility using a single list displaying the same information that can be found on the public register. The information displayed cannot be filtered by unit or department.
Employment information is only as accurate as the information reported by the LPN. If an LPN does not appear on the list, they have not listed the facility as their employer. LPNs may update their employers any time during the year.
Employers and managers are strongly encouraged to verify LPN registrations after the CLPNA鈥檚 annual Registration Renewal deadline to ensure LPN employees are registered for the coming year.
