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.  Reinstatement of a cancelled license requires additional documentation and a $25.00 reinstatement fee in addition to the regular renewal fee.

The most efficient way to submit your renewal application and payment of fees is through the ONLINE renewal system. There are no additional fees for this service.

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.

Each licensee must also submit an Annual Business Registration Statement in those instances when the licensee's business name does not contain the full name of the person licensed. You may obtain a renewal form and Business Registration Form by contacting the Bureau office. 

Continuing Education and Business Registration

The annual completion of 10 hours of Board approved continuing education is required to maintain a license to practice as a speech-language pathologist, an audiologist or a hearing aid dealer and fitter in Idaho.  The Board will conduct random audits to insure compliance with the continuing education requirements.  All licensees practicing under an assumed name are also required to submit an Annual Business Registration Statement at the time of renewal. This statement is attached to the license renewal form.  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
