Online Licensing Continues

The annual online licensing renewal process begins on June 3, 2024. You will receive an email outlining renewal instructions.

With the online system you will be able to verify and update your unique licensure information, join sections and specialty bars, answer a few questions, and will then be prompted to pay all fees.

The Bar accepts all major credit cards. Payment can also be made by ACH/E-check. NO PAPER CHECKS WILL BE ACCEPTED.

Upon completion of the renewal process, you will receive a licensing confirmation email. 



Online renewals and fees must be submitted by July 1 and will be late August 1. If online renewal and payment of fees are not submitted by September 1, your license will be suspended.
