Highlights
- New! In accordance with the state initiative for technical modernization as of June 24, 2024, the board has transitioned over to a fully online licensing and renewal system. Applicants are now able to apply and pay for licensure and exams online, and licensees will be able to renew and change their address or name.
What does this mean for you as a new applicant, current applicant, or licensee?- New applicants may do one of the following:
- Register for an account on the new online system, pay and submit your application.
- Current applicants will need to register for an account on the new online system. This will provide your email address to the board for communication and will allow you to continue through the application process and subsequent renewal processes once licensed.
- Current licensees will need to register for an account on the new online system. This will provide your email address for future communications as well as connect your existing license to your account so you can process your renewals, etc.
