Information About Renewals for All Licenses

Elevator Mechanic licenses expire on June 30 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 professional 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 the Manage Profile icon from your Dashboard in DELPROS.

Renewing Elevator Mechanic Licenses

An active Elevator Mechanic 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 (CE).

For detailed information on the CE and Audit requirements, see the Continuing Education and Audit Information webpage or see Section 9.0 of the Board’s Rules and Regulations.  After the renewal, a percentage of licensees are randomly selected for audit of CE.

Renewing an Expired Elevator Mechanic License

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 in DELPROS. You must pay a late fee in addition to the renewal fee. Even though you can file a late renewal application, it is illegal to practice until your active license is actually renewed. The late period is not a “grace period.” All late renewals will be audited.

If you fail to renew within the one year late renewal period, your license will terminate. To resume practicing in Delaware after termination, you must reapply in DELPROS as a new applicant.

Inactive License and Renewal

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

To maintain your inactive license, you must renew it in DELPROS before the expiration date. Continued renewal of your inactive license will keep your license in inactive status. You cannot practice in Delaware while your license is in inactive status.

Reactivate Your Inactive License

To resume practicing in Delaware, you must submit a Service Request in DELPROS to request to reactivate your license. You will be required to provide certificates of completion of 10 hours of CE completed within the previous 2 years of your request.

If you do not reactivate your inactive license within the one year late renewal period, your license will terminate. To resume practicing in Delaware after termination, you must reapply in DELPROS as a new applicant and provide proof of completion of 10 hours of CE.

For more information on requesting inactive status or reactivating an inactive license, see Section 8.0 of the Board’s Rules and Regulations.
