License Renewal Cycle and Fees

Licenses or registrations issued by the Board expire February 28 of every odd-numbered year.  The Board emails renewal notices approximately 60 days prior to the expiration date.  Notices are emailed to the most recent email address you have provided on your license record.  You are responsible for maintaining current contact information (i.e., address, email address, phone number), along with a current bond.  The Postal Service does not forward licenses.
