Renewal Timeline

NOVEMBER 15 to DECEMBER 31: RENEWAL 
The online Doctor of Chiropractic renewal becomes available on or around November 15, and remains open through midnight on December 31.  Your license status does not change during this time period.  You must complete your renewal with a form and fee to maintain your current status.

You are encouraged to renew early as "system glitches" or "technical difficulties" can occasionally occur, but will not be a defense against any late penalties.  Please read the following notices before proceeding to the renewal link at the bottom of this page

JANUARY 1 to last day of FEBRUARY: EXPIRED 
Any non-renewed Doctor of Chiropractic licenses after December 31 will be expired; and chiropractic services may not be offered until the renewal is complete.  A late renewal may be completed on the online renewal system up through the last day of February; however a late renewal penalty of $150 per month will be assessed for late renewals.

You are encouraged to renew early as "system glitches" or "technical difficulties" can occasionally occur, but will not be a defense against any late penalties.  Please read the following notices before proceeding to the renewal link at the bottom of this page

MARCH 1: BOARD TERMINATED 
Any non-renewed Doctor of Chiropractic licenses after the last day of February will be board terminated, and will require a Reinstatement Application according to the requirements of MN Rule 2500.1900.  In addition; if a Doctor of Chiropractic license remains in this status for a period of greater than one year; according to MN Statute 214.075 a finger-print based Criminal Background Check (CBC) will be required prior to approval of the reinstatement application.  

You are encouraged to renew early as "system glitches" or "technical difficulties" can occasionally occur, but will not be a defense against any late penalties.  Please read the following notices before proceeding to the renewal link at the bottom of this page:

If you have not yet completed your continuing education, do NOT completed your renewal form affirming that you have completed your CE, as doing so would be placing false information on your renewal application, and subject you to substantial penalties.  Instead, complete your CE prior to December 31, and then complete your renewal form.  If you are unable to complete your CE prior to December 31, please contact the Board directly.

All CE must be pre-approved by the board from approved sponsors.  You are responsible to verify courses that you take are approved by the Board and / or PACE.  (There are courses being offered by unapproved sponsors, some of which may not be approvable per MN Statute and Rules.)  To verify if a course is approved by the Board; go to Continuing Education Course Look-Up or to verify if it is PACE approved; go to the PACE website.

For each license or registration renewal; you must complete two things:
1. Renewal Application
2. Renewal Payment

NOTE: Entering the fee payment function takes you out of the Board website and into the U.S. Bank website to ensure a secure transaction.  Because of this, you are encouraged to complete all renewal applications first (adding each one to your "cart") and then complete one payment for all renewals.  Once the payment is completed, you must log back in to complete any renewals which were not finished when you made your payment.  Any person failing to complete BOTH a renewal application AND a payment for each license and registration, will not have their renewal completed, will not be authorized to practice, and will be liable for severe penalties if practicing while unauthorized to do so.  Finally... You are strongly encouraged to print receipts at the end of each transaction (one for the application and one for the payment) to prove you have completed these tasks.

Applications for an Inactive License or Voluntary Retirement require your license to be in good standing according to MN Rules 2500.2020, 2500.2100.  This means that you must submit your application for Inactive License or Voluntary Retirement while you maintain an "Active" license status (i.e. prior to December 31).  If you do not meet this deadline, you may be required to complete your license renewal for the new year (and pay any late penalties as applicable) before your application for Inactive or Voluntary Retirement will be approvable.

Please review details of the Inactive License and Voluntary Retirement on their prospective pages.  Please also consider the reinstatement requirements for either status, as this can become costly.

Per Minnesota Statute § 214.075; all licenses which are "lapsed" for a period of greater than one year will require completion of a fingerprint based Criminal Background Check (CBC) before being reinstated to active status.  Therefore, if you do not renew your Doctor of Chiropractic license before February 28; your license will be Board Terminated.  This is considered a "lapse" according to M.S. 214.075; and if left unrenewed (from the Expiration date) for one year or longer, you will be required to complete a CBC for the purpose of license reinstatement.  (Board Terminated licenses are not authorized to practice chiropractic in the State of Minnesota.)

Special provisions pertaining to a waiver of renewal requirements for military personnel who are, or have recently been, actively deployed may be found at M.S. 326.55 and M.S. 326.56
