However, any license that is not renewed on or before December 31 of the year in which the license expired will be considered “cancelled.” There is no longer a grace period allowing for renewal beyond December 31.

Online PDF certificates of completion are available to print immediately after the final exam is passed. The licensee must keep a copy of each certificate of completion in his or her file for 5 years and provide proof of completion upon the Commission's request.

Non-resident licensees must comply with the requirement for continuing education. However, if the non-resident’s jurisdiction has a comparable continuing education requirement and recognizes West Virginia continuing education credits as fulfilling that jurisdiction’s continuing education requirement, the Commission will accept continuing education credit earned in the other jurisdiction.

The following are exempt from West Virginia CE requirements:

• A licensee who held a license on 07/01/1969 and renewed it continuously thereafter.
• A licensee who is on inactive status.
• A licensee who qualified for a license by passing both the national and state licensing examinations during the fiscal year of his or her first required renewal if the licensee renews on or before June 30 of that fiscal year.
