All NDI Users.  Read this message before logging in!

We are nearing the date for transitioning to the NEW platform for the NDI.  The tentative date for the switch-over is Sunday, October 12th.

Active users who have logged into the NDI system during the last 24 months will be automatically transitioned to the new system, however, you will have to do a password reset and multifactor authentication will be implemented to improve security.

If you also have a login for NLEARN, you will need a separate login to access the new NDI,  Your original login stays the same for NLEARN.

The new NDI system will be easier to use and will feature the ability to print out a receipt for each search you make.  Online help will be integrated into the system.

Updated:  August 15, 2025.

The purpose of the National Decertification Index (NDI) is to serve as a national registry of certificate or license revocation actions relating to officer misconduct. The records contained in the NDI are provided by participating state government agencies and should be verified with the contributing authority. Inclusion in the database does not necessarily preclude any individual from appointment as an officer.
