Delaware 

A few months before the expiration date of your license, a renewal notice will be sent to the email address on record. This notice will explain how to access your online renewal application in DELPROS, the 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 will reach the intended licensee. To check and update your contact information online, click on Manage Profile or Facility link in DELPROS. 

Facility licenses must be renewed in DELPROS every two years before the expiration date. You must provide information about the facility’s mailing and location addresses, pharmacist-in-charge (Retail and Hospital pharmacies), and ownership. Facilities do not have CE requirements. 

Oregon 

A renewal notice is mailed with a renewal ID# and Registration code. $100 late fee for any renewals RECEIVED on 10/1 or later. 

Kentucky 

Online renewal will be available beginning 8/1/22. Permit # and 5-digit zip code required to renew online. Paper renewal is still available. $25K bond or bond continuation certificate required for renewal. Renewals received after 9/30 will be subject to a $125 delinquency fee. 

Oklahoma 

Renewal applications are mailed 60 days in advance. Renewal forms can be downloaded from the board website if needed. OSBP will no longer accept cash, money orders or checks as a form of payment. All payments must be made through their online store. 

Pennsylvania 

Log into your PALS account (www.pals.pa.gov) and confirm the email and mailing addresses are correct. Renewal information will be available 45-60 prior to expiration. Late renewals are not permitted and a reactivation application will be required after the license expiration date.

Rhode Island 

A form will be mailed to renew the license. It is the licensees’ responsibility to follow up with the RI board if a renewal is not received. 

Washington 

Pharmaceutical wholesaler and manufacturer licenses are renewed annually on or before 9/30 and may be renewed within 90 days of the expiration date.  A courtesy renewal notice will be mailed to the licensee’s address of record. Renewals MUST be postmarked on or before the expiration date to avoid a late penalty and having the license expire.  

Tennessee 

Renewals are processed through the Tennessee Department of Health Licensure and Regulatory system (LARS). *Important* If user ID and password has been forgotten, please contact the board – Do not create a new account.  

Utah
