Welcome to the Board of Speech-Language Pathologists and Audiologists

  • Annual license renewal for Speech-Language Pathologists and Audiologists opens on December 1 and ends on February 1, 2023. Based on the board's budget your renewal fees are being abated again this year. What this means in plain language is the cost to renew your licenses will be $0, if you don't renew late. You still have to renew to maintain your license by logging into your eBiz account and completing the renewal steps even though there is no fee this year. If you have any issues logging into your account to renew you can contact customer service staff at dlibsdhelp@mt.gov.

  • Be aware that there are scams that specifically target licensees.


    Fraudsters may pretend to be government employees, claiming that there is a problem with your professional license or that they have questions about your practice.


    In some cases, they find publicly available license information, such as your name, and then call your place of business pretending to be licensing board staff, attempting to elicit personally identifiable information.


    Department of Labor and Industry employees will never threaten you for information or promise a benefit in exchange for personal information or money.


    We may call you in some situations, but will never do the following over the phone:
    • Threaten suspension or revocation of your license
    • Demand immediate payment from you
    • Require payment by cash, gift card, pre-paid debit card, internet currency, or wire transfer
    • Ask for personal details or banking information


    The following scenarios should raise suspicion:
    • A caller saying there is a problem with your professional or occupational license (licensing boards send renewal notices by mail and email)
    • Any call asking you to pay a fine or debt with retail gift cards, wire transfers, pre-paid debit cards, internet currency, or by mailing cash
    • A request to verify your social security number in its entirety over the phone

    • Even in normal years, graduation season is a busy time for license application processing staff. The board recognizes that the current COVID-19 pandemic has created discord in the normal application, examination, and licensure process. We are striving to address these concerns and potential roadblocks as quickly as possible; however, please understand that this will not occur overnight. The board must continue its public safety mission while adapting to daily changes occurring from the pandemic. This will take time.
    • Applicants are encouraged to begin their application for licensure and to complete as much of the required information as possible.
    • Applications remain valid for one year under normal circumstances. If you submit your application and an item is missing, our licensing specialist will work with you to complete the application. We do not deny applicants for submitting an incomplete application. By completing the application’s remaining parts, exempting exams, etc., you can get ahead on the licensure process.
    • Online applications are the most efficient application method and allow you to upload your own supplemental forms directly into your application at any time.  Click here to go to our online system to create an account and begin your application. 
    • Paying the fee triggers the beginning of the staff review process. Be aware that to verify authenticity, some documents such as exam results, and transcripts must be sent to the department directly from the source and cannot be uploaded by the applicant.
    • Make sure your address and e-mail information are up-to-date. You can update your information at any time by logging into your online account
    • E-mail is the board's primary form of communication so a current e-mail helps ensure you stay current on board information.
