Information About Renewal Applications

Podiatrist licenses expire on June 30 of even years (e.g., 2012, 2014). Podiatrist In-Training licenses expire 2 years from the issuance date.

Several weeks before your license expiration date, a renewal notice will be mailed to the address on your record. This notice will explain how to access the online renewal application. To complete the online renewal application, you must use a credit card to pay your renewal fee. 

Please keep your contact information in our records up-to-date so that notices we send will reach you.  To check and update your contact information online, click here.

To renew your Podiatrist license, you will be required to attest to completing the required continuing education (CE). For information on CE requirements, refer to Section 6.0 of the Board's Rules and Regulations.

How to Reactivate an Inactive License

If you wish to place your Podiatrist license on inactive status, submit a written request. To reactivate an inactive license, the amount of CE you are required to complete depends on how long your license was inactive :

  • one year or less – 16 hours
  • more than one year up to 5 years – 32 hours completed within 24 months prior to reactivation

See Section 5.3 of the Rules and Regulations for more information.

How to Renew an Expired License

If you do not renew your license before the expiration date, your license will expire. It is illegal to practice while your license is expired.

You may renew an expired license for a period of one year after the expiration date by submitting a renewal application online, paying a late fee. You will also be required to submit documentation of continuing education.

However, if the license has been expired for more than one year and has not been granted inactive status, you must reapply in the same manner as a new applicant.
