Verdict for this pair
Georgia accepts active certifications with a work-history requirement.
Computed from Georgia's published endorsement rules, checked October 22, 2026. This is a calculator, not the registry — confirm with the Georgia Nurse Aide Registry (Georgia Department of Community Health, administered by Alliant Health Solutions) before accepting a start date.
| Application fee | $0 |
|---|---|
| Typical processing | Several weeks, depending on how fast your home state verifies (secondary-source estimate). |
| Exam required? | No retest for endorsed aides |
| Conditions | Reciprocity through Alliant Health Solutions: active, unencumbered out-of-state certification in good standing, verification sent directly from your current state registry, proof of certification and employment, photo ID and Social Security card, and GCHEXS background screening. No reciprocity fee. |
| Work-history requirement | At least 8 hours of paid CNA work under RN supervision within the past 2 years. |
| Georgia training standard | 85 hours (your Arizona program: 120 hours) |
If your certification is lapsed, or your training hours differ from the Arizona standard, your verdict changes. An inactive home certification transfers nowhere — fix it at home first.
It is on your training certificate. Most state programs run 75 to 160 hours.
