Licensing and Legal Status in Washington D.C.

CPM licensed

The District licenses Certified Professional Midwives through DC Health under the Certified Professional Midwife Amendment Act of 2020, with an advisory committee on certified professional midwives overseeing the credential. DC also licenses Certified Midwives, the graduate-level non-nurse credential from the American Midwifery Certification Board, and licenses CNMs through the DC Board of Nursing. All three credentials may attend planned home births within their scope of practice. Confirm the credential type and active license status with DC Health before hiring.

Ask which credential or license applies to the services offered and verify it with the relevant state board or credentialing organization. Directory source checks do not replace current license verification.
