License Renewals received between November 1st and December 31st will be accepted for renewal if they include the regular renewal fee, plus the $20 late renewal fee as required by the State Licensing Fee Act. Instructions regarding renewals are printed on the renewal application.
If the license is not received prior to midnight on December 31st, you will need to submit a Relicensure Application. This may be requested by email at
