Welcome to the Office of the Professions' Online Registration Renewal service. Complete information is available below for those who are unfamiliar with the process.
To renew online, you will need the PIN included in the registration renewal notice sent to you. If you cannot find your PIN, you can retrieve it here.
If you have not received or have misplaced the registration renewal notice, you can contact us to request your PIN.
