Registrants of the College of Registered Nurses of Alberta (CRNA) must renew their permits annually to continue practising in Alberta. The renewal period runs from Aug. 1 to Sept. 30, every year. A successful permit renewal allows registrants to practise under a protected title or designation in the upcoming practice year. The CRNA's practice year runs from Oct. 1 to Sept. 30.
Registrants complete their application to renew through Collect Connect, an online portal that provides them access to their application any time, anywhere and on any device.
To successfully renew, registrants must meet all the registration requirements. If a permit is denied or expires due to non-renewal, the individual can no longer work under a protected title or designation in Alberta. The CRNA will inform employers of expired permits.
The CRNA makes the register available for the public to verify an individual’s registration and permit status.
