Renew a License 

You must create an online account and link your license to your online account in order to start the renewal process. Only licenses in Active and Inactive Status including late renewal up to one (1) year are eligible to renew online. 

Step-by-step instructions on how to Create an Online Account, how to Link Your License to Your Account, and how to Renew Your License can be found by clicking on “User Guides” from the homepage under “Looking For?”

To access the Online Licensing System, click here.

All required items listed below must be submitted prior to the expiration date to avoid late fees. 

If a license expires before updated license information is displayed on the online verification system, the licensee may not practice until the renewal process has been completed. A licensee is subject to disciplinary action if they continue to practice after their license expires. 

A license may be renewed at any time in the three months prior to its expiration date or may be late renewed if expired less than 1 year with no change in expiration date.

Renew early if possible to avoid last minute delays in renewing and to avoid interruption in eligibility to practice.
