Georgia Caregiver Registry

The Georgia Caregiver Registry was established in May 2018 when former Governor Nathan Deal signed Senate Bill 406 (SB 406) into law. The purpose of the Registry is to help family employers determine the employment eligibility of current employees or job applicants who provide, or will provide, personal care services to an elderly family member.

If an individual is not found in the Georgia Caregiver Registry , the system allows that person to complete a background check process similar to the one used for Registry inclusion, including fingerprinting.

If you are a family employer and would like a current or prospective employee to complete a fingerprint-based background check, please provide your applicant with the Applicant Instruction Form listed below.

Once the applicant has completed the fingerprinting process and an eligibility determination has been made, you may access the results through the Georgia Caregiver Registry. 

Family employers, current employees, and prospective job applicants are encouraged to review the frequently asked questions included in the Applicant Instruction Form to become more familiar with the background check process. 

Note: The Caregiver Registry is intended solely for family employers seeking to verify the employment eligibility of a current employee or prospective job applicant who will provide personal care services to an elderly family member. The Registry may not be used by third-party entities.
