Once the Board has issued you an official license number, you will have 90 days to register and activate your license. Failure to register will result in penalty fees, and after one year, license cancellation.
Initial registration is completed via hardcopy forms sent to the licensee shortly after issuance and subsequent renewals can be completed online.
Please note: You must complete registration and pay the fee within 90 days of the date your license was issued to avoid penalty fees. If you have not registered your license within 90 days of your license issue date, a penalty fee equal to ½ the registration fee will be assessed. If you have not registered your license within 120 days of your license issue date, the penalty fee will increase to a fee equal to a full registration fee. If you do not register within 12 months of the date of issuance of your license, your license will be considered canceled.
Initial Registration Fee as of 9/1/2023
The Board assigns a first registration period. These vary in length from 6 to 24 months. First time registration fees are prorated accordingly. Subsequent registrations will be two years in length and will be due on the same day each year.
The initial registration fee includes a $5 Office of Patient Protection fee for the first year, with an additional $1 charged for any subsequent year. This fees are required by statute and cannot be pro-rated. The remaining amount is required by the Acupuncture Board and prorated for each permit length.
