What is NUID?

NUID (Nurse Unique Identification) is a permanent, nationwide ID issued under the Indian Nursing Council (INC). It links your personal details, education, and registration with your State Nursing Council (SNC), simplifying license verification, renewals, and job applications (India & abroad).

Who needs NUID in 2025?

• BSc/GNM/Post-Basic/ANM nurses registered with any State Nursing Council
• New graduates applying for state registration
• Nurses applying for DataFlow, overseas licensing, or job abroad
• Nurses updating name/DOB/qualification or renewing registration

Documents Required (Checklist)

Keep clear scanned copies (PDF/JPG) ready:

• Aadhaar/PAN (ID proof)
• Recent passport-size photo (white/light background)
• Signature (black/blue on white, in a box)

• Final consolidated mark list / transcript
• State Nursing Council registration certificate(s)
• Marriage certificate/gazette (if name changed)

Step-by-Step Portal Process (2025)

4. State Registration – Add your SNC registration number, date, and upload certificate.
5. Uploads – Photo, signature, ID proof, certificates (crop/resize as per specs).
6. Review & Submit – Cross-check name, DOB, council number.
7. Payment – Pay the portal/council fee (if applicable) and save the receipt.
8. Track Status – Use Dashboard → Application Status; respond to queries.
9. Download/Note NUID – Save the NUID and print/download confirmation.

Fees, Timelines & Status Tracking

• Fees: Vary by State Council (INR range depends on SNC; online payment supported).
• Processing Time: Typically 3–15 working days, depending on verification workload.
• Track: Portal Dashboard → Status. If “Query/Raised,” open remarks → fix and re-submit.

Common Errors & How to Avoid Rejection

• Name/DOB mismatch → match Aadhaar/10th/Passport before applying.
• Wrong file sizes → compress to the required KB; avoid blurry scans.
• Unclear signature → rescan in good light; crop closely.
• Council number typos → verify from the physical certificate.
• Email/mobile inactive → use an email/phone you check daily.

If rejected: read “Remarks,” correct the exact point, and re-upload only the flagged files
