***SCAM ALERT!!! - All licensees be aware of an ongoing scam. A licensee may receive a call from a person impersonating an investigator, board member, or another government agency official. The call may come from a random cell phone number or spoofing the Division of Professional Regulation’s main phone number of (302) 744-4500. Click HERE for more information.***

All Massage and Bodywork licenses and certifications, including establishment licenses, expire on August 31 of even years (e.g., 2024, 2026).
A few months before the expiration date of your license, a renewal notice will be sent to the email address on the record. This notice will explain how to access your online renewal application in DELPROS, our online portal. To complete the online renewal application, you must log-in to your account, answer questions, and use a credit/debit card to pay your renewal fee.
All notices about professional licenses, such as renewal and audit notices, will be sent by email only. It is important to keep your contact information up-to-date so that all the notices we send reach you. To check and update your email address online, you will need a DELPROS user account sign on. Once you have created the sign on, click on Manage Profile link in the dark blue banner under the person icon in the online portal and follow the directions to change your email address.
Section 9.0 of the Board’s Rules and Regulations explains the CE requirements for CMT’s and LMT’s. Massage Establishments do not have a CE requirement. After the renewal, a percentage of licensees are randomly selected for audit of CE.
All other continuing education requirements remain the same.
You may submit a late renewal application up to one year after the expiration date but you must pay a late fee in addition to the renewal fee. Even though you can submit a late renewal application, it is illegal to practice massage or operate an establishment until your active license/certification is actually renewed. The late period is not a “grace period.”
Following a late renewal, a percentage of licensees are randomly selected for audit of CE. For details regarding CE and Audits, click on the Continuing Education and Audit Information webpage.
If you fail to renew by the end of the one-year period, your license/certification will terminate.
To maintain your inactive license, you must renew it in DELPROS before the expiration date and pay the inactive renewal fee. However, CE and CPR certifications are not required to renew. Renewal will keep your license in inactive status for two more years.
To resume practicing in Delaware, you must reactivate your license by submitting a Service Request in DELPROS. For more information on requesting inactive status or reactivating an inactive license, see Section 8.0 of the Rules and Regulations.
