The CBN Certification Program provides several ways for employers, organizations, certificants, and other interested parties to verify CBN certification status. The CBN Public Credential Registry is the primary method for verifying certification status. Verification is also available through CBN digital credentials and, when additional verification is needed, through the CBN Credential Verification Request Form.
CBN Public Credential Registry
The CBN Public Credential Registry provides online verification of Certified Bariatric Nurse (CBN) certification status. Use the registry to search for an individual and view their current certification information. The CBN Certification Program makes every effort to ensure accurate information; however, occasional delays in updates or human or technical errors may occur.
Certificants may request removal from the public registry by contacting the CBN Certification Program at cbn@asmbs.org.

Digital Credential Verification
Active CBN certificants may also hold a verified CBN digital credential issued by the CBN Certification Program through Credly. Each digital credential includes information about the CBN certification and provides a convenient way for employers, colleagues, and others to verify the credential and its current validity.
The CBN digital credential is a shareable representation of an individual’s certification.
