About three months before your license expires, the Department of Consumer and Worker Protection (DCWP) will mail you a renewal package.
You can complete and submit the application DCWP sent you by mail or in person, or you can renew online. Once your license expires, you are considered unlicensed and you may get penalties if you continue to operate. If you don’t renew your license within 59 days of expiration, you will have to reapply for a new license.
Online
To renew online you need to have a DCWP online account and a Personal Identification Number (PIN). The PIN is required to link information about your DCWP records to your online account.
Log in or register for a DCWP account.
If you don’t have a PIN already, you can request it by phone.
