From the Board of Registered nursing CA

Important Information Regarding Required Social Security Numbers

for Licensure Applicants

The Board of Registered Nursing (BRN) will no longer accept applications that do not contain

a U.S. Social Security Number. The Nursing Practice Act provides for a unified examination

and licensing application. Once an applicant passes the examination, a license is

automatically issued. Under these circumstances the BRN cannot accept applications for the

examination and licensure without a U.S. social security number.

Pursuant to Section 30© of the Business and Professions code the board may not process

any application for licensure unless the applicant provides a U.S. social security number.

Section 30 of the Business and Professions code states in part:

30. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, any board, as defined in

Section 22, and the State Bar and the Department of Real Estate shall at the

time of issuance of the license require that the licensee provide its federal

employer identification number, if the

licensee is a partnership, or his or her social security number for all others.

(b) Any licensee failing to provide the federal identification number or social

security number shall be reported by the licensing board to the Franchise Tax

Board and, if failing to provide after notification pursuant to paragraph (1) of

subdivision (b) of Section

19528 of the Revenue and Taxation Code, shall be subject to the penalty

provided in paragraph (2) of subdivision (b) of Section 19528 of the Revenue and

Taxation Code.

© In addition to the penalty specified in subdivision (b), a licensing

board may not process any application for an original license unless the

applicant or licensee provides its federal employer identification number or

social security number where requested on the application.
