License Renewal

The Board is pleased to announce that we have moved to an electronic licensing system. This system will allow you the opportunity to renew your license and pay the renewal fee electronically for 2025 and beyond! You will NOT have to print and mail your renewal applications to the Board moving forward.

The new system is very user-friendly. Please see the links to the PowerPoint and instructions that will assist in the setting up of your account and allow access to the renewal portal.

The phone number for Certemy technical support is (866) 907- 4088 if you have questions pertaining to the creation or setting up of your new account. Please note, they cannot answer questions pertaining to your renewal or CEU submissions. Also, here is the link to submit a support ticket as a professional user: https://certemy.com/contact-support/

If you are a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), The Board has moved all license types to the same CEU submission schedule. As a LMFT, you submitted proof of CEUs last renewal cycle (2024). However, you will need to use that same information to renew this year in the new system. Please enter the information that you provided on the paper application for 2024. Moving forward, you will provide proof of CEUs in the odd years (2025, 2027, 2029, etc.)
