Here are three simple steps to ensure proper renewal:
1) Continuing Education – Typically contractors need to complete 14 hours board-approved continuing education every 2 years by 8/31 of an even numbered year. The only exceptions to this rule are:
- Inactive licensees do not need to do CEs until they wish to renew.
- Licensees who have been licensed more than 1 year, but less than 2 at the time of renewal (8/31/2016) only need to do 7 hours. This is based on date of issuance.
- Licensees who have been licensed less than 1 year do not have to do continuing ed. This is based on date of issuance.
2) Pay Renewal – This can be done with by check through the mail or online:
- The stub that the state sends can be returned with a check, but make sure the boxes are not marked unless:
- First box: You wish to update your address.
- Second box: You want to INACTIVATE your license.
If nether is the case, leave these boxes blank
- Online payments can be made at MyFloridaLicense.com. You can find more information on creating an account by visiting an old blog of ours here:https://demo.licensesetc.com/blog/renewing-a-license/
3) MAKE SURE IT UPDATES – This may be the one that most people forget to do. Too often we speak with licensees whose license has gone delinquent or worse the dreaded Null & Void. A common theme is that they thought the license was in good standing. Double check the status of your license online until you see the new expiration date become 8/31/2018
