What to know now.
Indiana maintains a Home Health Aide registration in the Indiana Aides Registry. Current state guidance says the initial registration is valid for two years and must be renewed to remain active. An HHA must obtain at least 12 in-service hours in each year of certification and must perform at least eight hours of nursing or nursing-related work during each two-year renewal cycle; private-care hours are not accepted toward that work requirement. Renewal is currently free and is completed through the state's Online Licensing System / MyLicenseOne. If the registration has been expired for more than eight months, Indiana uses a separate employer-verified renewal process rather than ordinary online renewal.

Verified facts
Use the official source for the final check.
- Official credential: Indiana regulates this as a Home Health Aide registration in the Indiana Aides Registry rather than a generic HHA license.
- Two-year registration cycle: The initial HHA registration is valid for two years and must be renewed to remain active.
- Annual in-service requirement: Indiana currently requires at least 12 in-service hours during each year of certification.
- Work requirement: The aide must perform at least eight hours of nursing or nursing-related work during each two-year renewal cycle; private-care hours are not accepted.
- Current fee: Indiana currently charges no fee to renew an HHA registration.
- Longer expiration: If an HHA registration has been expired for more than eight months, current state guidance requires a separate form completed and submitted by the verifying employer.
Renewal workflow
Turn the requirement into a repeatable checklist.
- Step 1
Verify the HHA's current Indiana Aides Registry status, registration number, and expiration date.
- Step 2
Track at least 12 hours of required in-service training in each year of the two-year certification period rather than treating it as one end-of-cycle task.
- Step 3
Confirm at least eight hours of qualifying nursing or nursing-related employment during the current two-year cycle and keep employer verification available.
- Step 4
Renew through the current Indiana Online Licensing System / MyLicenseOne before expiration; if the registration has been expired for more than eight months, follow the separate employer-verified process.
- Step 5
After renewal is posted, verify the new registration date/status and begin the next two-year reminder cycle.
From one credential to a tracking system
One renewal question can reveal a much larger roster problem.
If you are responsible for several employees, contractors, or credentials, the hard part is often no longer finding one renewal rule. It is keeping every holder, authoritative date, reminder, completion, and renewed date visible without repeatedly scanning a spreadsheet.
Care-workforce rosters can be especially mixed: CNA or nurse-aide records, HHA/HCA/CHHA credentials, RN/LPN licenses, CPR/BLS, and other recurring requirements may all sit under one administrator.
