Renewals

Please view our Online Registration and Renewal Guide for step-by-step direction.


Individuals must renew their Kansas professional license every two years to avoid expiration and/or cancellation.

Last names beginning with letters A-L renew in even-numbered years and last names beginning with letters M-Z renew in odd-numbered years. Each license type has it's own renewal period window (dates are listed below). Each renewal period allows 60 days to renew before license expiration and then an additional 60 day grace period before license cancellation. If a license cancels due to non-renewal during the renewal period and grace period then the individual must apply for license reinstatement. You may not offer to practice with an expired or cancelled license.

Payment Options

Current renewal fee is $70.00.

When renewing online you must pay by card (+$1.75 processing fee) or electronic check (+$1.25 processing fee). If mailing a paper renewal form you must enclose a check or money order made payable to the Board.

Continuing Education Information

You will be required to certify that you have complied with the Board's continuing education requirements to renew your license. For more information please view Continuing Education Guidelines and Continuing Education Rules and Regulations.

If you have not yet completed the continuing education required to renew you may opt to place your license into Inactive Status by renewing via paper form and selecting the “I request my license be placed into INACTIVE status” checkbox. A renewal fee is still required or the license will not be renewed into the Inactive status. You may not practice or offer to practice in Kansas while in Inactive status. Upon completion of the required continuing education simply submit a Return to Practice application to request your license be placed in Active status again.

If this is the first renewal of your professional license no continuing education is due. Select that you have met the Board's continuing education requirements and submit payment.

Renewal Notices and Pocket Cards

An Official Renewal Notice is mailed to the preferred mailing address on file within two weeks of the renewal portal opening. The official renewal notice contains all registration information necessary to create a login for online renewal; This registration information is also necessary if you need to reset your user ID or password.

Pocket cards are e-mailed within seven business days after license renewal whether you renew by paper or online. If renewing online you will also receive a payment confirmation page directly after submitting your renewal and payment; This page confirms your successful renewal and we recommend you save it for your records! You are also able to check the status of your license 24/7 on our Online Individual License Search page that is updated in real time.
