Information About Renewals

Licenses expire on January 31 of odd years (e.g., 2017, 2019).

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 licensure system. To complete the online renewal application, you must log-in to your account, answer questions, and use a credit 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 contact information online, click on Manage Profile link in DELPROS.

  • Click on the titles below in each section to expand the information.

An active license must be renewed in DELPROS every two years before the expiration date. During renewal, you are asked to attest that you have completed the required continuing education units (CEUs). The CEU requirement includes 0.2 CEUs (two hours) of ethics and a CPR course which will count for 0.1 CEU.

For information about CE requirements and audits, click on the Continuing Education and Audit Information webpage or see Section 13.0 of the Board’s Rules and Regulations. After the renewal, a percentage of licensees are randomly selected for audit of CE.

If you do not renew your license before the expiration date, your license will expire. It is illegal to practice in Delaware while your license is expired.

You may file a late renewal application up to one year after the expiration date. You must pay a late fee in addition to the renewal fee. Even though you can file a late renewal application, do not resume practicing until your license is actually renewed to active status. The late period is not a “grace period.”

If you fail to renew by the end of the one-year period, the license will terminate.

To resume practicing in Delaware, if the license has been:

  • expired for more than one year but less than five years, you must apply for reinstatement in DELPROS
  • expired for over five years, you must reapply for licensure in DELPROS as a new applicant

See Section 11.0 of the Board’s Rules and Regulations for more information.

If you hold an active license but are not practicing in Delaware, you may request to place your license in inactive status through a Service Request in DELPROS. You must request inactive status before the expiration date of your license. If your expiration date has passed, you must first renew your license, then request inactive status.

To maintain your inactive license, you must renew it in DELPROS. Renewal will keep your license in inactive status for two more years. You cannot practice in Delaware while your license is in inactive status.

To resume practicing in Delaware, you must reactivate your license through a Service Request in DELPROS and meet the requirements for reactivating. The following is required:

  • A State of Delaware and Federal Bureau of Investigation criminal background check (CBC). Go to the Criminal Background Check Process page to find the Service Code required to obtain a State of Delaware and Federal Bureau of Investigation criminal background check. Once you have your Service Code, you will be directed to the IdentoGO website for instructions to complete the fingerprinting process.
    • Criminal background checks completed for any other purpose (e.g., employment, licensure in other states) will not meet this requirement.
  • Proof of the required continuing education units (CEUs) completed pursuant to the proration schedule (shown below). You must enter your CEUs into the DELPROS CE Tracker from your e-License Dashboard in DELPROS.
IF your license has been in inactive status for … THEN you must provide proof of…
Fewer than 12 months No CEUs required
At least 12 months but less than 24 months 1.5 CEUs to include 0.2 units of ethics
At least 24 months 3.0 CEUs to include 0.2 units of ethics
For more information on reactivating an inactive license, see Section 11.0 of the Board’s Rules and Regulations.
