IMPORTANT: Residential & Commercial Licensees Must Renew Annually
Residential licenses and commercial certificates of responsibility must be renewed every 12 months. Remember to check the expiration date on your certificate and submit the required paperwork in a timely manner to ensure the license remains in good standing.
So how DO you renew your license? Watch the short video below for the answers to this frequently asked question.
Video Transcript: As a courtesy, MSBOC will email annual license renewal notices to current licensees approximately 60 days prior to the expiration date indicated on the certificate of licensure. It is essential that you provide and maintain a valid email address with the Board, and regularly check your email— including your spam or junk folders— to avoid missing important communications.
We’re happy to provide this renewal notification support to our licensed professionals, but it remains the responsibility of each license holder to renew his or her license by the required deadline every year. It is also your responsibility to notify the Board of any changes to your contact information, including mailing and email addresses.
A commercial or residential license can be processed as a late renewal for up to 180 days after the expiration date printed on the certificate of licensure. A commercial or residential license that has been expired for more than 180 days cannot be renewed, but will require a new application for licensure instead.
You can download the form to print and complete and mail to our office. If you prefer, you may renew online by selecting the ONLINE LICENSE RENEWAL option on our website. If you select the ONLINE LICENSE RENEWAL option, please pay online AND upload your documents. Please DO NOT mail documents separately when paying online. Mailing in documents separately after paying online will cause further delay.
