ONLILicense Renewal
Application to renew your
license must be made before your birth date each year in order for your license
to remain valid. You bear the total responsibility of insuring that a timely
and complete renewal application is submitted. Failure to
submit a completed
application to renew your license before the expiration date
will result in the cancellation of your license.
The most efficient way to
submit your renewal application and payment of fees is through the
ONLI
License renewal
applications are mailed approximately six weeks before the license expiration
date. This renewal notice is sent to your mailing address of record and
MUST BE COMPLETED AND RETURNED WITH PAYMENT. If you do not receive a
renewal notice, you may contact the Bureau
to confirm your mailing address and have a duplicate notice sent to you. Failure
to receive a renewal form does not exempt you from the renewal requirement.
Do not wait until the last minute to request a duplicate.
When submitting your
renewal application to the Bureau office, you must include responses to all
questions, your social security number, your signature and the appropriate fee(s)
before the expiration of your license. Do not send cash through the mail.
Returned checks will be subject to a $20.00 collection fee.
Continuing education is required for those who maintain licensure in Idaho. Licensees are required to complete 20 hours of continuing education prior to annual renewal. The Board will conduct random audits to insure compliance with the continuing education requirements.
AUDITS
The Board conducts annual audits to insure compliance with the continuing education requirements. Audits may be initiated anytime after you renew your license. By signing your renewal application, and answering "Yes" to the question that you have met the continuing education requirements, you are certifying to the Board that you have already obtained proof of having completed the required continuing education.
IF YOU HAVE NOT YET MET THE CONTINUING EDUCATION REQUIREMENT, DO NOT SUBMIT A RENEWAL APPLICATION INDICATING THAT YOU HAVE. Submitting a fraudulent application for licensure is grounds for discipline against your right to practice.
If you are audited, you must submit a listing of all continuing education courses completed during the previous year AND proof of attendance documentation for each course.
Continuing education hours accumulated during the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the license expiration date may be applied toward meeting the continuing education requirement for the next license renewal. No more than five (5) hours in excess of the required twenty (20) hours shall be carried forward. Excess hours may be used only during the next renewal period and may not be carried forward more than one (1) time.
If you are audited and you carried forward hours, you must submit complete documentation for both the audit period and for the previous year.
Failure to submit the required documentation may result in Board action against your right to licensure.
You should review the the Board rules regarding continuing education before signing up for any continuing education offerings.
If you have questions about the CE requirements, you may e-mail the Bureau office.
CE providers may obtain Board approval by submitting a completed Continuing Education Approval Form
