Annual Renewal Information

This is the first year the Board will utilize an online platform called Certemy for renewal submissions. This platform allows for electronic submission and communication for all renewal items. Submitting your items through the account you create in Certemy will be the only option for submitting a renewal beginning this renewal year.

For any provisional licensees who will be submitting a provisional extension request, this request will be submitted through the Certemy platform along with your renewal.
