Registration Information

NANB’s Registration Services process applications for registration and annual renewal. Only members of NANB are allowed to refer to themselves as registered nurses or nurse practitioners in New Brunswick.

Preauthorized Debit (PAD) option for paying NANB fees

Members have the option to pay annual renewal fees by pre-authorized debit (PAD). The PAD payment option is open to all active practice members who intend to renew their registration the following year. How does the PAD program work? When you sign up for the PAD program, NANB will collect your renewal fees in for the upcoming year in 8 monthly payments, from February to September. The fees already collected will be credited to your account when you log in to the NANB website in October/November to complete your annual renewal. How do I register for the program? The registration form will be available under My Profile on the NANB website starting in October. Once you have logged in, click the link to the PAD registration form. You will be required to read the PAD program policy, provide the banking information for the account that you wish to use for the pre-authorized payments, and confirm your authorization for NANB to deduct the monthly payment from your account. Your completed registration form must be submitted by November 30th, 2023 in order to participate in the PAD program for 2025. Is there a cost to participate in the PAD program? There is a $20 Administration Fee required to participate in the PAD program. Your monthly fee will be your annual fee plus the $20 Administration Fee, divided by 8. Please click and read the NANB PAD Policy for more information.
