General Requirements

Licensees requesting to reactivate their license from inactive or retired status are required to pay additional fees and comply with specific continuing education requirements. Please contact the board office at BOM_PostLicensure@flhealth.gov to request your reactivation requirements.

The department will renew your license upon receipt of:

  1. Completed Renewal application
    a. Including acknowledgment of no felony convictions in the previous two years
  2. Required fees
  3. Your current primary place of practice address
  4. Confirmation of required continuing education hours reported into the continuing education tracking system, CE Broker.
  5. Complete a mandatory background screening or retain* your current fingerprints. To learn more, please visit https://flhealthsource.gov/background-screening/.

*Required by section 456.0135(6)(1), Florida Statutes, a $43.25 fee is required for FDLE to retain your fingerprint for background screening during this licensure cycle. This fee is collected at the time of license renewal if your fingerprint retention is expiring this licensure period. If your fingerprint retention expires in the next 60 days, you will need to pay separately through the Clearinghouse Applicant Initiated (CHAI) System.

To ensure you receive notification from the department regarding the renewal, you must have on file with the department your current mailing address. Failure to renew an active or inactive license by the expiration date will result in the license being placed in delinquent status. Failure by a delinquent licensee to become active or inactive before the expiration of the current licensure cycle renders the license null and void without any further action by the board or the department.

A licensee who remains on inactive status for more than two consecutive biennial licensure cycles and who wishes to reactivate, must:

  1. Submit original inactive license
  2. Provide licensure verification from each state licensed in, or if only licensed in Florida submit a statement affirming the licensee is only licensed in Florida
  3. Provide a statement of medical activities from the date becoming inactive to the present or if have not practiced at least two of the four years preceding application for reactivation, the licensee must: a. Successfully complete a 16 credit hour Graduate Clerkship program approved by the council and b. Practice under the direct supervision of a supervising physician approved by the council for one year. In lieu of proof of completion of the Graduate Clerkship or the equivalent, may submit proof of recertification by the NCCPA
  4. Acknowledgment of no felony convictions in the previous two years
  5. Submit proof of completion of the CME requirements in compliance with paragraphs 64B8-30.005(2)(c), (d), (e), and (f), F.A.C., for each biennium in which the license was inactive
  6. Pay the appropriate fees
