File a Yearly Report

All licenses must be periodically renewed to maintain their active status. It is the licensee’s responsibility to ensure their license remains current.

  • Expire three (3) years from the date of issuance.

OSDH will send reminders to expiring licensees at their last known email address at least 45 days ahead of expiration. However, be aware that non-receipt of a renewal reminder does not stop expiration of a license or assessment of a late fee.

Regardless of whether a notification reminder is received, a licensee can renew by submitting the following:

  • Completed Renewal Application
  • Documentation of current certifications listed in 310:395-7-2:
    • Affidavit of Lawful Presence
    • Proof of current certification from NARM, AMCB, or equivalent certify certification approved by the Commissioner of Health
    • Proof of current certification in neonatal resuscitation by the American Academy of Pediatrics or equivalent
    • Proof of completion of coursework or training certificate within the last 3 years in administration of medicine including injections and IV administration
    • Proof of current certification in Bloodborne Pathogen (BBP) training from the American Red Cross (ARC) or equivalent
    • Proof of current certification in CPR training for health care providers from the American Heart Association (AHA) or equivalent
  • Fee: $1,000.00 by date of expiration; $1,100.00 after 30 days (but less than 90) past expiration date; $1,250.00 after expired 90 days or more.
  • Any change in licensee personal/contact information.
