How to renew, step by step

  1. 1

    Check your renewal deadline

    Log in to the ID DOPL portal and confirm your expiration date and license number before doing anything else.

  2. 2

    Complete continuing education

    Idaho does not require continuing education for this license, so there are no CE hours to complete — but confirm on the board portal in case the rule changed.

  3. 3

    Gather bond & insurance proof

    Have current proof of your license bond and general-liability insurance and workers’ compensation coverage ready to upload.

  4. 4

    Submit and pay

    Submit the renewal through the ID DOPL portal and pay the $150 fee. Renewing online is faster than mailing a paper form.

  5. 5

    Save your confirmation

    Download the confirmation and your updated license. If you missed the deadline, look for the late/reinstatement path rather than re-applying from scratch.
