Steps

1. Submit Your Application ▾
   Apply through the Board of Dietetics and Nutrition Practice. The application fee is $100.
2. Provide License Verification ▾
   Minnesota requires official verification of your active out-of-state license. This must be sent directly to the board from your current state board or its official online verification system before your file can be considered complete.
3. Confirm Your Notarized CDR Registration Card ▾
   A notarized copy of your current, active CDR registration card or official exam results.
4. Request Official College Transcripts ▾
   Showing a master's or doctoral degree from an ACEND-accredited program.
5. Provide Supervised Practice Documentation ▾
   Verification of at least 900 hours of supervised pre-professional practice.
6. Provide Criminal Background Check ▾
   Completed background check ($32 fee paid as part of the application).
7. Complete Fingerprinting and Background Screening ▾
   Minnesota requires a criminal background check for all applicants. Out-of-state applicants can use IdentoGO Out-of-State Live Scan (adds ~$39.95 fee) OR FD-258 hard card via mail (tip: moisturize hands for days prior to reduce smudge rejects). Completing prints outside Minnesota can add 2-4 weeks to your processing time.
8. Await Board Processing ▾
   Plan for a processing timeline of about 2 to 4 Weeks once your file is complete.
