How to renew a credential.
(1) The expiration date for all credentials is the practitioner's birthday,
except for faculty or postgraduate education credentials authorized by law.
(2) A credential period may be one or two years. To determine the
renewal cycle, refer to the individual laws and rules pertaining to your
profession.
(3) To renew a credential, the practitioner must:
(a) Pay the renewal fee;
(b) Pay the substance abuse monitoring surcharge, if required by
the profession; and
(c) Provide written declarations or documentation, if required for
the profession.
(4) Prior to the credential expiration date, courtesy renewal notices are
mailed to the address on file. Practitioners should return the renewal notice
when renewing their credential. Failure to receive a courtesy renewal notice
does not relieve or exempt the credential renewal requirement.
(5) Renewal fees are accepted by the department no sooner than ninety
days prior to the expiration date.
