Time is growing short for Washington health care professionals who took advantage of this year’s license expiration extension.
With providers focusing on patient care during the COVID-19 pandemic, the secretary of health extended expiration dates for licenses due for renewal between April 1 and Sept. 30, 2020. The extension included a waiver of late fees.
As the end of September rapidly approaches, the extension is about to expire. That means providers who took advantage of it must renew their licenses no later than Sept. 30 in order for their licenses to remain active and to keep from having to pay late fees.
Providers who delayed renewal, and whose normal expiration date has passed, may:
- Renew through the online licensing system, if their profession is able to (credit card, debit card or E-check accepted), or
- Return the renewal notice with payment by mail (check or money order accepted.)
Providers in some professions can’t renew late online. A list of professions able to renew online after their normal expiration date is on our License Expiration Extension Frequently Asked Questions page.
No late fees will be due, as long as we receive your payment online before 11:59 pm on Sept. 30; or if it’s postmarked no later than Sept. 30. We'll need three to five business days to update license status after we receive mailed-in payments.
If you have questions, please contact our call center at 360-236-4700.
