If you send it by mail, it will take about two weeks to update. If you bring the payment to the front counter, it will take about three to seven business days. If you complete your renewal online, the updated information will show on our provider/facility search.
Our goal is to process all renewals within seven business days after we receive them. This includes payment and processing time.
- How do I renew my license without a renewal notice?
-
Courtesy renewal notices aren't required for renewal. You may update your credential by mailing your renewal payment to us with documentation of your name, license number, current mailing address, and any other renewal requirements.
You may also contact our Customer Service Office or see the fee schedule on the licensing information webpage for current renewal fees.
Avoid an expired license
Don't let your license expire. You must make sure we have your renewal before it expires. Otherwise, you won't be allowed to practice. A timely postmark on your renewal won't prevent an expired license. Renewals sent by mail take about two weeks to process.
