Georgia Caregiver Registry

The Georgia Caregiver Registry was signed into law in May 2018, by former Governor Nathan Deal as part of SB 406. The purpose of the Caregiver Registry is to allow family employers to determine the employment eligibility of a current employee or job applicant who is/will be providing personal care services to that family's elderly family member. If the individual is not found in the Registry’s database, the system will allow that person to then go through a similar background check process, including fingerprinting.

If you are a family employer and you wish to have a current or prospective employee complete a fingerprint-based background check, please email [email protected] to request an Applicant Instruction Form. 

Family employers, current employees and prospective job applicants should review the frequently asked questions below to become more familiar with the background check process.

NOTE: The Caregiver Registry is to be used only for family employers who are seeking to get an employment eligibility status of a current employee or a prospective job applicant to provide personal care services to an elderly family member. The Caregiver Registry is not to be used by third-party entities. 

Should you have questions about the fingerprinting process for the Georgia Caregiver Registry, send your email to [email protected].
