Midwife Licensing in Maine
Maine licenses Certified Professional Midwives and Certified Midwives through the Board of Complementary Health Care Providers, part of the Office of Professional and Occupational Regulation, under the 2016 licensure law. CNMs are licensed by the Maine Board of Nursing. All three credentials are legally recognized for attending planned home births. Maine also has a tradition of unlicensed community midwifery in rural areas, so verify the license through the OPOR lookup at maine.gov/pfr rather than assuming.
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.
