Physician Initial License Registration Fees

Once the Board has issued you an official license number, you will have 90 days to register and activate your license. Failure to register will result in penalty fees, and after one year, license cancellation.

The Board assigns the first registration period. These vary in length from 6 to 24 months. First time registration fees are prorated accordingly. Subsequent registrations will be two years in length and will be due on the same day each time.

As of September 18, 2011 the physician registration fee increased to $822.00 every two years.
