Renewals & CE
Renewals

When do I renew? Even-numbered licensees renew in odd years, and odd-numbered licensees renew in even years.  Renewals are due (must be postmarked) by the last day of your birth month. For example, if your license number is even and your birthday is March 12th, then your completed renewal notice & affidavit along with payment must be postmarked by March 31st each odd year.

*** Your CE reporting period is the same as your license renewal period. ***

Renewal notices are mailed out at least 6 weeks prior to the due date.  Please refer to the Renewal Schedule.  When you receive your renewal, simply complete the renewal form and return it with your payment in the envelope provided.  Check or money order only; make payable to OBPE. 

Has my renewal processed yet? Renewals are typically processed in batches twice weekly, so expect your updated license expiration date to show up on the licensee lookup within 1-4 business days of the office's receipt of your renewal. Please note that even if a license appears to be expired because it shows past the expiration date, it may still be processing. Also, there is a 30-day grace period for late payments, so a license remains valid 30 days past the stated expiration date (until the status shows "Lapsed").
