Certificates expire June 30 each year and renew for the July 1 to June 30 fiscal period; a licensee is not eligible to renew until CPE compliance for the preceding calendar year is established and a compliance letter has been received. Renewal fees postmarked after June 30 incur a $50 late fee; failure to timely renew forfeits active status.Verify with board
