Renewal Process

1. The renewal deadline date (expiration date) for morticians, crematory operators, crematory technicians, mortuaries, branch mortuaries, and crematories is July 1 of each year. 
2. The renewal deadline date (expiration date) for cemeteries is on a five-year cycle. The next renewal deadline for cemeteries is July 1, 2025.
3. Renewal opens 60 days prior to your expiration date.  We encourage you to renew your license early in the renewal cycle.
4. Please note that our online system is available 24/7 during the renewal cycle; however, there is no staff available to assist you after 5:00 p.m.  Waiting until the last hours to renew could mean that there is no one available to assist you, and this may cause your renewal to accrue late fees.
