Transfer verdict · computed October 22, 2026
For an active Georgia aide in good standing, trained in a 85-hour program:
Verdict for this pair
Washington accepts active certifications with a $85 application fee, a work-history requirement, a possible exam, decided on your file.
Computed from Washington's published endorsement rules, checked October 22, 2026. This is a calculator, not the registry — confirm with the Washington Nurse Aide Registry / OBRA Registry (Provider Credential Search) before accepting a start date.
| Application fee | $85 |
|---|---|
| Typical processing | Not published |
| Exam required? | Possibly — the registry decides on your file |
| Conditions | Apply with the Certified/Endorsement Nursing Assistant application and the $85 application fee. You must be active and in good standing on another state's OBRA Nurse Aide Registry; the state verifies your out-of-state registry placement and credentials, and you must submit work-history verification and training/exam documentation. If your training or exam cannot be verified as equivalent, testing can be required. |
| Work-history requirement | Work-history verification is part of the endorsement packet; no fixed hour count was stated on the DOH pages reviewed. |
| Washington training standard | 138 hours (your Georgia program: 85 hours) |
If your certification is lapsed, or your training hours differ from the Georgia 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.
