What are the requirements for renewing my active certificate before it expires?
Approximately 60 days prior to your certificate expiration date, the department will mail a renewal form and instructions (doc) to your last known address. In order to renew, you must submit a completed renewal form, correct fees, and proof of 12 hours of approved continuing education from an approved provider. No more than 3 of the 12 hours can be in the personal development category (CPR, etc.) – the rest must be technical radiation protection, equipment operation, etc. All continuing education used to renew a certificate must have been earned in the current renewal cycle and the same course cannot be repeated in the same cycle. Renewal forms which are post marked after your certificate expiration date will be considered late and additional late fees will be due. Any certificate that is not renewed by midnight on the expiration date automatically expires and cannot be used to practice.
