Hawaii dental licenses must be renewed by December 31 of odd-numbered years; failure to pay the biennial fee results in forfeiture of the license, and restoration requires written application and a restoration fee (HRS ch. 448). A licensee on inactive status is considered unlicensed and may not practice; violation is subject to discipline.Verify with board

How compliance is checked

The Board performs a random audit of renewals after the renewal period is closed and all on-time renewals have been processed; licensees selected are contacted by mail with instructions. Do not submit CE records unless requested.
