Nutritionist Certification

Washington State holds 397 active credentials of this type — 0.1% of every active health care credential in the state. Here is what that number is made of, and how to check one.

What kind of credential this is

A Nutritionist Certification is a Certification — a credential the state grants against a defined standard. It is what Washington uses where the work is real and regulated but typically carried out under someone else’s direction rather than independently.

That word is not a formality. Washington issues 145,796 active credentials in this form across the state, and it decides what the holder may do without someone else’s supervision. How a certification differs from the others.

When these credentials expire

Washington renews on the holder’s birthday, so these 397 expiry dates are spread right across the calendar rather than falling together. By year:

How long these holders have been credentialled

The oldest Nutritionist Certification credential still active in Washington was first issued in 1991. 111 of the 397 were issued in 2024 or later — 28.0% of the profession is that new.

The disciplinary flag

1 of the 397 active credentials of this type carry a disciplinary flag in the Department’s file — 0.3% — and 1 carry one marked pending.

This site publishes that count and no more: never who. The reason is not discretion, it is accuracy — the published file carries a yes/no flag and nothing else: no reason, no date, no case number. Naming someone on the strength of it would publish a suspicion rather than a fact. Every credential counted here is active. Why the line is drawn there.

Do not let the date pass

397 credentials of this type are active in Washington. Washington renews most of them on the holder’s birthday, every year or every two years, and continuing-education hours have to be done before that date — not after. Leave your details and we will tell you when yours is close, and pass your request for continuing-education hours to providers who teach for this credential.

We take no commission and we vouch for no training provider. We have no arrangement with any provider today — we are collecting these requests in order to go and find them. What we do with this.
