CREDENTIALS
Annual license renewal fees were reduced to $45.00 in fiscal year 2005 and have
remained at that reduced amount.
During this biennium a 10% surcharge, imposed by legislation, on dietitian and nutritionist
licenses and renewals for the Minnesota Office of Enterprise Technology to develop a
statewide electronic licensing system was funded by the Board in FY 10 with a transfer
from the special revenue fund in lieu of imposing this surcharge on the licensees.
Beginning in FY 11 the surcharge will be collected directly from applicants and licensees
The Board website (www.dieteticsnutritionboard.state.mn.us) provides ready access to
Online Annual License Renewals, Online address//phone change, Online reporting of
continuing education, information about the status of individual Licensees, Complaint
Forms, and dietetic/nutrition Statutes and Rules.
The Board staff consists of 0.8 FTE employees in the positions of Executive Director and
Office Administrative Specialist.
The Board continues to be proud of creating a shared electronic licensing model with
other small boards. Significant work has been completed in this biennium to create
online applications with possible roll out in the next biennium.
