Pharmacist credentials must be renewed every two years on the practitioner's birthday. A late renewal incurs a $265 late renewal penalty on top of the $530 renewal fee; if the credential has expired, reissuance costs $265. Continuing to practice on an expired credential is a violation of 18.64 RCW.Verify with board
