Details

Verified 2026-09-22 against NH Code of Administrative Rules Ed 509.01: educator licenses (including BELs and EELs) are renewed every 3 years; the senior educational official verifies completed professional development 'as required in Ed 513.04'; renewal verifications and fees are due no later than June 30 of the renewal year (rule text current through Register No. 26, 6/26/2025, as mirrored on Justia). The 75-CEU allocation (45 aligned with the Professional Education Requirements of Ed 505.07 + 30 specific to each endorsement area) is stated on the official NH DOE educator recertification form (Section A: 30 CEUs per endorsement area; Section B: 45 CEUs aligned with Ed 505.07) and is corroborated across NHED credentialing guidance (Recommended vs. DOE renewal, both via myNHDOE). CEUs may be prorated when an endorsement is issued mid-cycle. Caveat: the full codified text of Ed 513.04 itself was not directly captured in this pass, so the numeric allocation rests on the official NHED recertification form rather than the admin-code section text.

Official source: NH Code of Administrative Rules Ed 509.01 (renewal cycle/process) and NH DOE educator recertification form (45/30 CEU allocation)
