What the Indiana data shows for Registered Dietitian / Nutritionists
To practice as a registered dietitian / nutritionist in Indiana, the state licensing board requires board-approved training, a passing score on the Commission on Dietetic Registration Exam examination. Applicants must be at least 18 years old. The regulation sits under Indiana's professional licensing framework, which classifies training as "Bachelor or Masters Degree plus Internship".
Upfront cost is $158, with renewal running $136 on a 2-year cycle. Maintaining the license requires 75 hours of continuing education per 2-year cycle, an ongoing cost applicants often underestimate when budgeting the career.
Reciprocity is available: Dietitian Licensure Compact: adoption underway. Compared to the profession-wide pattern, the numbers above should be cross-checked against other states before relocating — licensing cost, training hours, and exam requirements vary enough that a different state may cut thousands of dollars and months of training from the path. The state board, not this page, is the final authority; verify every field below with the official regulator before you pay fees or enroll in training.
