What you need to renew

  1. Confirm your deadline. Most renewals run on a 1-year cycle. Some states tie the date to your birth month, others use a fixed calendar date.
  2. Complete required CE (if any) from a board-approved provider before the deadline.
  3. Submit the renewal application and fee via your state board's portal.
