CLICK HERE to get started
 
Before you access your renewal online you will want to be sure you are ready to proceed.
What you will need to get to your renewal:
· Your license number (no letters, just the number) and
· Your social security number.
What you will need once you access your renewal:
· Information on any address changes you may have
· Your CE records to enter, which must include (for an active license) 45+ hours of CE, with at least 10 hours in pharmacy and 2 in ethics.
· If licensed within the last two years, information on pain management education
· If you hold a certificate in natural childbirth, you need to fax or email a copy of a current neonatal resuscitation card
· Answers to all history questions SINCE YOUR LAST RENEWAL
· Your credit card, if paying online
 
If you answer yes, to any history questions, you must provide a brief explanation and forward to the OBNM office (via email or fax) and supporting documentation. The history questions are for any actions since your last renewal only.
 
If you start the online renewal process with everything you need, it should take between 10 and 20 minutes to complete. If you are not prepared to complete it in one visit, the information you have added, will not be lost; however, do not forget that you have not completed the renewal process. A late renewal is a late renewal.

CONSUMER RESOUCE LINKS 
 
MANDATED OFFICE CLOSURES AND HOLIDAYS
The current recession has reduced state revenues which has forced the Legislature to make deep cuts in agency budgets. Coping with these cuts requires closing all state offices and facilities, including the Oregon Board of Naturopathic Medicine, on the days listed below. Our employees will take unpaid furloughs on those days.

We apologize for any inconvenience these closures might cause, and we look forward to restoration of a full work schedule when the economy improves. 
The following dates are mandated furlough days for this agency:

Friday, May 24, 2013

This office will also be closed in observance of the following holidays:
