Notice to Applicants/Licensees
As of June 20, 2024, the Board has reduced the fees for an initial license to $200.00 and the annual renewal fees to $125.00. Please see the NSBAT Fee Schedule (below) for more details.
ALL licenses to practice athletic training expire on June 30th each year, regardless of the date they were issued. The online renewal application will be available online beginning May 1st of each year.
In addition, the Board is required to keep a public address on file for each licensee. Your work address is used as your public address by default. If you do not provide the Board with a work address, your home address will be used as your public address. You may provide an alternate address by emailing the Board office.
Fingerprint Background Checks
Results of fingerprint background checks are taking at least 30 - 45 days even when submitting via live scan. Licenses cannot be issued until the results of the fingerprint background check are received.
Live scan is available for applicants present in Nevada only. The Live Scan Private Fingerprint Sites form below has a list of approved fingerprint sites.
Out of State applicants will need to submit hard cards of their fingerprints. If moving to Nevada soon for a new position, please consider waiting to be fingerprinted in Nevada for fastest results.
Licensure by Reciprocity
If you are licensed in another state, you may be eligible for licensure by reciprocity if all Nevada licensing requirements are met, including a fingerprint background check as part of the licensure process. To obtain reciprocity in the State of Nevada, your license should be active and in good standing in another state and meet the requirements per NRS 640B.330.
You are still required to undergo a fingerprint background check. However, your license can be issued before receiving the results. If criminal history shows up on your background check that would prevent you from qualifying for licensure, you will appear before the Board and your license may be revoked.
To apply for licensure by reciprocity, please include a License Verification from your current state with your application. A printout of an online verification will suffice if all required information is provided. A License Verification is an official document provided by a state licensing board that includes the following important information: your full name, state, license number, issue date, expiration date, licensure based on, current license status, and any disciplinary action and/or pending investigation. A copy of your current AT license from another state is not an acceptable substitution.
Initial Application/Licensure Forms
The Initial Application Packet has all the forms you are required to submit for licensure. After reviewing the packet, if you have any questions, please email the Board Office at atrainer@nsbat.nv.gov.
