*Are you an active CNS or CNS candidate?
Please register as an ANA member in order to access My Portal where you can find resources, forms and applications, check your CNS status, pay your fees, and more. We recommend Professional Membership for active CNSs and CNS candidates already in the field. We recommend Student Membership for CNS candidates currently enrolled in a nutrition-related program of study. Please note: The Board for Certification of Nutrition Specialists (BCNS), which is the credentialing body for the CNS and CKNS credential, remains a separate legal entity from the ANA. The CNS and CKNS annual renewal fee is distinct from ANA membership dues and CNSs/CKNSs are NOT required to be paid Members of the ANA. The annual credential renewal fee of $100 is required to keep CNS and CKNS credentials current. Additionally, CNS and CKNS certificants must recertify every 5 years (requires an application and a $200 fee).
