License 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.

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 before the license expiration date.  This renewal notice is sent to your mailing address of record and MUST BE COMPLETED AND RETURNED WITH PAYMENT.  If you do not receive a renewal notice, you may contact the Bureau to confirm your mailing address and have a duplicate notice sent to you.  Failure to receive a renewal form does not exempt you from the renewal requirement.  Do not wait until the last minute to request a duplicate. 

When submitting your renewal application to the Bureau office, you must include responses to all questions, your social security number, your signature and the appropriate fee(s) before the expiration of your license.  Do not send cash through the mail. Returned checks will be subject to a $20.00 collection fee.

NOTE: If you fail to submit a completed application 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.

Continuing Education

The annual completion of 12 hours of continuing education is required to maintain a license to practice chiropractic in Idaho. The subject material of the continuing education shall be germane to the practice of chiropractic as outlined in 54-709(1)(b), Idaho Code, and either sponsored by an approved school of chiropractic or otherwise approved by the Board. 

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

The licensee must obtain verification of attendance by securing authorized signatures from the course instructors or sponsoring institution which substantiates the hours of attendance. This verification must be available upon Board request.  The Board will conduct random audits to insure compliance with the continuing education requirements. 

AUDITS

The Board conducts annual audits to insure compliance with the continuing education requirements.  Audits may be initiated anytime after you renew your license.  By signing your renewal application, and answering "Yes" to the question that you have met the continuing education requirements, you are certifying to the Board that you have already obtained proof of having completed the required continuing education. 

IF YOU HAVE NOT YET MET THE CONTINUING EDUCATION REQUIREMENT, DO NOT SUBMIT A RENEWAL APPLICATION INDICATING THAT YOU HAVE.  Submitting a fraudulent application for licensure is grounds for discipline against your right to practice.

If you are audited, you must submit a listing of all continuing education courses completed during the previous year AND proof of attendance documentation for each course. 

Failure to submit the required documentation may result in Board action against your right to licensure. 

You should review the the Board rules regarding continuing education before signing up for any continuing education offerings. 

If you have questions about the CE requirements, you may e-mail the Bureau office.
