Renewal Information

A courtesy email will be sent 45 days in advance of the renewal due date. Licensees need to register and create an account on the licensee self-service portal system (link is on the Board's website home page). A complete online license renewal must be received by midnight no later than the first day of the licensee's birth month to be timely. A complete renewal application includes the appropriate renewal fee, a listing of acceptable continuing education hours, verification of current CPR certification based on completion of a BLS Healthcare Provider course, and the completed and signed online License Renewal Application.

Duplicate License Requirements

Licensee's can use the Board's new self service portal to request additional license copies at any time. There's a $40 fee for one original license with a duplicate portable multiple copy.

Processing Time

Processing Time Description
1-3 Days The Board encourages early application. Applications are valid for one year. Application materials are gathered over time and licenses are generally issued within 1-3 days of verifying a complete application. Once an application is paid for and submitted, the applicant will get a letter with outstanding requirements. Please complete the fingerprinting ASAP to avoid a delay in licensure. That letter can be used as a checklist to guide completion of the complete application.
