Acupuncture License & Certification Renewal

Application to renew your license must be made before your birth date each year in order for your license to remain valid. You bear the total responsibility of insuring that a timely and complete renewal application is submitted. Failure to submit a completed application to renew your license before the expiration date will result in the cancellation of your license.  Reinstatement of a cancelled license requires additional documentation and a $250.00 reinstatement fee in addition to the regular renewal fee.

NOTE: If you fail to renew your license before the expiration date, your license WILL be canceled. Renewals postmarked on or after the expiration date must include a $250.00 reinstatement fee in addition to the regular renewal fee. The reinstatement fee is required by §67-2614, Idaho Code and cannot be waived. All questions regarding the reinstatement fee must be submitted by letter or e-mail. Phone calls regarding this matter will NOT be returned.

The most efficient way to submit your renewal application and payment of fees is through the ONLINE renewal system. There are no additional fees for this service.  

License renewal applications are mailed approximately six weeks prior to the expiration date of licenses.  Failure to receive a renewal form does not exempt you from the renewal requirement.  A duplicate renewal form may be obtained by contacting the Bureau office. Do not wait until the last minute to request a duplicate.  That notice must include responses to all questions, your social security number, and your signature and be returned with the appropriate fee to the Bureau office before the expiration of your license.  Do not send cash through the mail. Returned checks will be subject to a $20.00 collection fee.

Continuing Education

Continuing education is required in order to maintain a license to practice acupuncture in Idaho.  A current and completed Verification & Certificate of Compliance form for continuing education MUST be submitted before a license will be renewed. The Board conducts regular continuing education audits to insure compliance with the requirement.

CE providers may request Board approval by submitting a completed Continued Education Approval Application.
