ND License Renewal

When does my ND license expire? How do I renew my license?

In California, your license must be renewed every two years. Your license expires at midnight on the last day of your birth month, every two years. Your first licensing period will likely be less than two years, and your licensure fees will be prorated to reflect this - hence the initial licensing fee varies from $633-1,000.

For example, your birthday is 09/10/80. You apply for your ND license and receive your license on 01/01/2022. Your license will expire at midnight on 09/30/2023, meaning your initial license lasts for 20 months, rather than 24, and your licensure fee will be prorated to reflect this (in this case, they would be $867 instead of $1,000). Your next license renewal date will be 09/30/25, then 09/30/27, and so on. Each license renewal will cost $1,000.

If you file to renew your license more than 30 days after the expiration date, your renewal is subject to a $150 late fee.
