Licensees attest to continuing-competency completion on the registration renewal application; falsely attesting or practicing without valid registration is unlicensed practice subject to discipline. A licensee short on hours may be granted a one-year conditional registration to complete the prior period's missing hours plus 12 hours for the conditional year, paying an additional registration-equivalent fee plus the $45 competency fee.Verify with board

How compliance is checked

Licensees retain continuing-competency records for six years; NYSED may request production of records (records are not routinely submitted at renewal).
