The page said the nutritionist licence is generally satisfied by a graduate degree or professional membership rather than a specific exam. The board's rule requires nutritionist and nutrition-associate applicants to pass a board-approved entry-level nutrition exam, or to hold a licence from a state with standards at least as strict.

Now reads: Each licence tier's exam requirement as the rule states it

The page cited Utah Code §58-49-6 as the endorsement pathway. That section is no longer in the Dietitian Certification Act; it was read from a 2011 copy of the code. The agency is also now called the Division of Professional Licensing.

Now reads: Endorsement is still available, under Utah's general licence-by-endorsement law (at least one year licensed elsewhere with a similar scope, in good standing) and the Dietitian Licensure Compact

The page said Nevada has no licence-by-endorsement pathway. It has had one since 2022: a CDR-registered dietitian with an unrestricted licence in another state can be licensed by endorsement. The page also named the Division of Public and Behavioral Health as the licensing body and linked its page, which now returns an error; a 2025 law moved dietitian licensing to the Nevada Health Authority.

Now reads: Licence by endorsement is available, with its conditions. The licensing body is the Nevada Health Authority's Health Care Quality & Compliance unit, with its current page and phone number

The page listed "Certified Dietitian (CD)" as a current protected title, named a dietitians board, and said applicants must hold CDR registration. Indiana replaced the certificate with a licence in 2019 and now protects only "licensed dietitian" and "LD"; the board is the Medical Licensing Board of Indiana; and the law sets a degree and supervised-practice standard rather than requiring CDR registration.

Now reads: Protected title: Licensed Dietitian (LD). Licensing through the Indiana Professional Licensing Agency for the Medical Licensing Board. The education, continuing-education, reciprocity and fee details are now read from the statute and the agency's own pages

The fee tables listed an "Application Fee" and an "Initial License Fee" of the same amount. In each of these ten states that amount is the whole cost of an initial licence, not half of it, so the table read as double the real cost.

Now reads: One initial fee per state, as the state's own rule, statute or board page states it: Connecticut $190, Illinois $100, Maine $150, Maryland $300 (a $75 application fee plus a $225 license fee, paid together, per COMAR 10.56.02.02), New Hampshire $121, Ohio $225, Pennsylvania $95, Texas $108, West Virginia $75, Wisconsin $60. Florida and Oklahoma genuinely charge two fees of equal amount and are unchanged. Illinois fees are now cited to the rule itself rather than to a professional association's summary

These three pages stated that continuing education was "Not required". That was a claim we had no source for. Our data recorded continuing education as unknown for Hawaii, because a requirement could exist in a section of the administrative rules we had not retrieved, and Idaho and Alaska both tie renewal to maintaining CDR registration, which carries its own continuing-education obligation. The page turned "we don't know" into "you don't have to" — the single worst way this site could fail, because a dietitian could have skipped required credits and lost a licence on it.

Now reads: Three distinct states are now shown separately: required, confirmed not required, and not yet sourced. Where we do not know, the page says so

Source: CDR registration requirements; Hawaii, Idaho and Alaska administrative rules

Resolved eight states' outstanding continuing-education questions against primary sources in the same pass that fixed the error above.

Result: All eight now carry a sourced answer rather than an inferred one.

Re-checked the exam format, domain weights and passing score, which had originally been written with hedged language.

Result: Replaced with CDR-verified figures. Hedging is not a substitute for checking.

Checked Vermont's fee schedule and the overlap between the protected titles "dietitian" and "nutritionist" in the District of Columbia.

Result: Vermont fees re-sourced from the Office of Professional Regulation schedule; the DC title overlap corrected before publication.

Maryland, Hawaii, Montana, North Dakota, Indiana, Missouri and New York have no board or administrative-code chapter we have been able to locate and cite. New York is the hardest of them, because there the question is whether a requirement exists at all.

Result: Open, and recorded here rather than filled in with an assumption. Two more questions — a Kentucky endorsement rule and a conflict between two District of Columbia fee documents — need a phone call to the board, not another search.
