How to prepare for License Renewals

Step 1: If you have not logged onto your online license portal, go to the login screen from the BELTSS website https://mn.gov/boards/nursing-home/.  Click on LICENSING and then ONLINE SERVICES.  The link to the login screen is also available here:  https://nha.hlb.state.mn.us/#/login

Step 2:  Review your information in the Profile View to be sure your email address is current.  If it is not, go to the blue pencil  on the right side to update.   You can also review your Director of Record (DOR) under the profile view to be sure you are listed for your location. Reminder:  every facility needs a Director of Record (DOR) who is a Licensed Assisted Living Director (LALD) or a residency permit (RP).  Any changes must be made within 5 working days.

Step 3:  Your license certificate will be mailed to the address on file.  To Verify, and change your address on file, go to License (LALD) and click on the blue pencil on the right side to change.  Each licensee must have a public and mailing address listed.  It can be the same address. 

Step 4:  Begin gathering your Continuing Education (CE) clock hours on the LALD Continuing Education Record Sheet (included).  You will no longer need to enter CE clock hours on the license portal, and you DO NOT send to BELTSS unless you receive notification of an audit on your license renewal.  As a reminder this first year of license renewal, if licensed on or before October 31, 2021, you will need 15 CE clock hours.  This is for a partial two-year period, as licensing for Assisted Living facilities only began on August 1, 2021.  Those licensed after November 1, 2021, will NOT have CE clock hours due until the next CE Renewal period ending on August 31, 2024.

Where do I find approved CE clock hours available to me?

Remember to make sure clock hours are approved by MN-BELTSS or NAB/NCERS for Administrators/Directors. Sponsors should denote on their marketing materials or on our website as approved by BELTSS with a MN22 (YR) or MN23 (YR) and an event number 12345.  It’ll resemble a number like MN23-12345.
