- Do not click “Start New License” when renewing - A new license application will result in a new State ID and a gap in licensure which may affect your billing.
- Paper applications are no longer accepted. Please renew online.
- Renew within 60 days after the expiration date to avoid forfeiture of State laboratory license and termination of CLIA certification.
