For an active Illinois aide in good standing, trained in a 120-hour program:
Verdict for this pair
Arizona accepts active certifications with a $50 application fee, a work-history requirement.
Computed from Arizona's published endorsement rules, checked October 22, 2026. This is a calculator, not the registry — confirm with the Arizona Nurse Aide Registry (Arizona State Board of Nursing, AZBN) before accepting a start date.
| Application fee | $50 |
|---|---|
| Typical processing | Not published |
| Exam required? | No retest for endorsed aides |
| Conditions | Listed in good standing on another state's nurse aide registry, no findings, lawful presence in the U.S. AZBN fee schedule lists CNA/LNA Endorsement at $50. LNA endorsement adds a $50 background check and fingerprints (CNA endorsement does not require fingerprints). |
| Work-history requirement | Must have worked as a CNA for pay in the past 24 months - at least 8 hours for the CNA route (160 hours for LNA endorsement). Some secondary sources also require an equivalent training program; confirm hours equivalence with AZBN if your program was under 120 hours. |
| Arizona training standard | 120 hours (your Illinois program: 120 hours) |
If your certification is lapsed, or your training hours differ from the Illinois 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.
