We have a new online service for managing professional and business licenses. Learn how to set up account access. If you need help with the new service, please contact your professional licensing program.

We expect a processing delay for mailed applications and renewals. Renew or apply online for faster processing of your license.

We are waiving late fees for business and professional licenses up for renewal between February 1 - December 31, 2020. Thank you for your patience and we apologize for any inconvenience.
