Board Update: Renewal Guidance and Compliance Reminders

Published: August 18, 2025

The Oregon Board of Optometry is providing guidance to help licensees prepare for renewal, including reminders about continuing education (CE), system updates, and compliance requirements.

Prepare for License Renewal

Licensees are encouraged to begin preparing early to ensure all requirements are completed before submitting a renewal application.

Taking time to review and organize your information in advance can help avoid delays or errors during the renewal process.

Continuing Education (CE) Reporting

Make sure all continuing education (CE) is completed and accurately entered in the licensing system before submitting your renewal.

  • Verify course details such as title, date, and credit hours
  • Select the correct CE type when entering courses
  • Keep documentation for your records

Licensing System Updates

The licensing system may include updates or changes that affect how information is displayed or entered.

Review your CE records and other details in the portal to confirm that all information is correct and visible.

Compliance Reminders

  • Ensure all license requirements are met before renewal
  • Maintain required certifications, such as CPR if applicable
  • Follow current rules related to prescriptions and recordkeeping

Tips for a Smooth Process

  • Start early to allow time for corrections
  • Double-check all entries before submitting
  • Keep copies of CE certificates and supporting documents
