Midwife Licensing in California
California licenses non-nurse midwives as Licensed Midwives through the Medical Board of California under the Licensed Midwifery Practice Act of 1993. The national CPM credential alone does not authorize practice; anyone working as a CPM in California must hold the state LM license. CNMs are licensed by the California Board of Registered Nursing and may attend births in any setting. Verify either license at search.dca.ca.gov.
Directory source checks do not replace current license verification. Ask the practice which credential or license applies to its services and confirm it with the relevant state board or credentialing organization.
What to Confirm With Each Practice
Ask whether the practice currently attends home births in your ZIP code, whether it has availability around your due date, which credentials and licenses apply, what its package includes, and how it handles insurance and billing. Clinical suitability and care decisions should be discussed directly with a qualified health professional who knows your circumstances.
