Renewals |
Licensure Renewals due by December 31, 2011.
This is your first, early reminder that December 31, 2011 is license
renewal time for all LMHCs. As in the past, the Division of Professional
Licensure will conduct a random Continuing Education audit of 20%
of all license holders. If you are audited you will have to show
evidence of all your continuing education credits for this license
cycle. LMHCs are required to take 30 hours of Continuing Education
every two-year license cycle. If you have been licensed within this
two-year cycle your CE requirements will be pro-rated.
