Frequently Asked Questions About Renewals/Reinstatements

Last updated: December 2011


How often do I need to renew my registration?

Louisiana follows a biennial renewal cycle. At the first of February or August according to your assigned renewal cycle, a renewal notification letter will be mailed to your last known address, and an e-mail will be sent to your e-mail on file. The notification letter and e-mail will instruct you on how to go about renewing your registration. Remember, if you are the owner or Supervising Professional of a firm, your individual registration may have a different expiration date from the "firm" registration.

Dual licensees (individuals and firms) will receive notification for each license – PE, PLS, EF, VF, EI, LSI.

Remember, it is your responsibility to know when your license(s) are due for renewal.
 

If my registration has expired, what must I do to reactivate it?

If your license has been expired for less than 120 days, you must complete your renewal invoice, pay the registration renewal fee and a late fee. You must also submit a Professional Development Hour (PDH) activity log showing that you have completed your Continuing Professional Development requirement.

If your license has been expired for more than 120 days, you must submit an Application to Reinstate Expired Professional License, the application fee, and a Professional Development Hour (PDH) activity log along with supporting documentation showing that you have completed your Continuing Professional Development requirement.

If your license has been expired for more than 5 years, you must submit an Application to Reinstate Expired Professional License (5 years or more), the application fee, and a Professional Development Hour (PDH) activity log along with supporting documentation showing that you have completed your Continuing Professional Development requirement and all other required documents.

If your certification (EI/LSI) has been expired for more than 120 days, you must submit an Application to Renew Intern Certification and application fee.
