The Iowa Board of Nursing (IBON) has introduced a new online portal designed to enhance public access to information regarding nursing licenses and disciplinary actions within the state. The portal provides a direct link for the general public to verify licenses and review disciplinary documents without requiring an account or login. This initiative aims to streamline the process of accessing public records related to nursing professionals in Iowa.

Entities such as employers or legal professionals seeking more detailed information, such as nurse rosters or queries by partial SSN, will need to create an account through the portal's 'Customer Service' section. While an account is necessary for these advanced features, users will not be required to provide their Social Security Number or date of birth during registration. The portal also offers contact information for program-related questions and technical support.
