To begin the renewal process, first select the “License Renewal” feature from your Licensee or Facility Portal account. Then, follow the appropriate steps to complete the renewal process.
*It is important to note the following:
- If your renewal is not submitted and fees are not paid by December 31, 2022, then your license or certificate(s) will lapse. A $50 reinstatement fee will be applied to any licenses or certificates renewed after December 31, 2022.

Over the last several years, our agency has been diligently working to fine-tune our new modernized licensing and records database system.
As we continue to move towards modernizing and streamlining the renewal process, there are some things you should be aware of.
Specifically:
- OMCB will no longer be printing licenses or certificates associated with the renewal process.
- Licensees will be notified by email once their submitted renewal has been approved. Once approved, licensees can print their renewed license and/or certificates from their Licensee Portal account for apprentices and from the Facility Portal account for all facilities.
- Here are the specific directions for printing your renewed license and/or certificates:
- For apprentices, start by selecting the “Wallet Card and Wall Certificate” feature from your Licensee Portal account. Then follow the prompt to download and print your renewed certificates of apprenticeship.
- For Facilities, start by selecting the “Print License” feature from your Facility Portal account. Then follow the prompt to download and print your renewed facility license.
- Per OAR 830-040-0000(13), facilities must post their facility license and certificates of apprenticeship in a conspicuous location for public viewing. Other individual licenses will be available for inspection upon request.
Renewal Fees:
- Cemetery: $4 per interment performed during the two calendar years preceding the year in which the current license expires up to a maximum of 150 interments or $600 per year, payable biennially; (Cemeteries with ten or fewer interments annually are not required to pay a renewal fee in accordance with ORS 692.275.)
- Crematory or Alternative Disposition Facility: $100 per year plus $2 per disposition performed during the two calendar years preceding the year in which the current license expires, payable biennially.
- Funeral Establishment or Immediate Disposition Company: $350 per year, payable biennially.
- Trainee (Apprentice) Embalmer: $25 per year, payable annually.
- Trainee (Apprentice) Funeral Service Practitioner: $25 per year, payable annually.
We are excited to continue improving our new system, which will hopefully provide a simplified process for you. We appreciate your patience as we move forward with this renewal cycle.
