  • Licensees can renew and modify their existing licensing information.
  • Anyone can verify the status of a licensed professional or file a complaint against a licensed professional.

  • MiCLEAR supports all major internet browsers including Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari.  If any issues occur while using one browser. We encourage you to switch to a different browser and try again.
  • We recommend using a desktop or laptop computer to complete the registration and renewal process. You may have trouble using a mobile device.

  • The application and renewal process requires payment with a credit or debit card - Visa, Mastercard or Discover. (American Express is not accepted)

Current Registrants/Licensees (You Currently Hold Active Registration/License):

  • If you currently hold a license with CSCL, you must register an account in the new MiCLEAR licensing system. You should have received a PIN letter in the mail. If you have questions, please contact CSCL at 517-241-9221 or CSCLOnline@michigan.gov.

Renewals

  • You must register an account in MiCLEAR BEFORE you try to renew your license.
  • When registering an account, please use the name exactly as it appears on your current license.  This will allow the system to find your current license and avoid having to contact the Department to link your account and your license.
  • If once you register an account and login, your license does not show up for renewal, DO NOT apply for a new license.  Please contact the Department so we can link your account to your license.
  • To apply for relicensure, log into MiCLEAR then select "Additional Actions" and then select "Relicensure."
