Registrations are available online 60-90 days prior to your current expiration date. If you cannot proceed with online registration, try again closer to your expiration date. Registration reminders will be sent out on postcards at least 60 days in advance of the expiration date.
- MRT and LMRT licensees expire once a year on May 31st.
There are five steps to submit your online license renewal:
- Go to the Medical Physicists Online Registration/Renewal system. Please note that if you are not able to complete your online license renewal, your data will be automatically saved for you for 15 days. Upon your return to complete the renewal, you will be given the option to use your saved application or to begin again.
- Enter your License Number and your Social Security Number.
- Review, confirm or update your information, and complete your registration.
- Pay registration fees with MasterCard, Visa, Discover, American Express, or Electronic Check.
- View and print receipt.
Temporary permits are not eligible for renewal. If you have an existing temp permit and need to request another temp or move to a full, you will need to submit a new application, using the online system located in the Licensing section of our website.
The biennial registration fee includes $7.00 for the Physician Health Program (PHP), and a $2 Office of Patient Protection (OPP) fee. These fees are required by statute. The remaining $258 is the fee required by TMB.

Please note that the fees listed above are for the “first” Medical Physicist Specialty listed on the permit. Each additional specialty will be an additional $50.00 added to the renewal fee.
There is no grace period for the expiration date of a Medical Physicist permit. Once the expiration date has occurred, a penalty fee equal to one half of the registration fee will be added. After 90 days, the penalty fee will increase to equal a full registration fee. If a license has been expired for one year or longer it is automatically cancelled.
Online Registration:
No financial information is seen, processed, or stored by the Texas Medical Board. The payment portion of the online registration system is handled by Texas.gov, the official website of Texas. The price of this service includes funds that support the ongoing operations and enhancements of Texas.gov, which is provided by a third party in partnership with the State. Texas.gov will remit the amount paid to the Texas Medical Board on your behalf. The charge to your account for the online registration should include a description of the payment type or a reference to “SnapPay”.
Please note that as of 9/1/15, Texas.gov will charge a different amount depending on the type of online payment service used.
Ex: $267.00 Registration fee due
$273.26 Total amount charged on credit card
Ex: $267.00 Registration fee due
$267.00 Total amount charged through electronic check
Non-online (paper) registration:
An additional processing fee of $50 will be charged to those licensees who choose to register through a paper form, when an online option is available. If an online option is not available (ex: license is delinquent or suspended at the time of registration) the additional processing fee will not be required.
To request a hard copy registration form, please contact the Registration Department.
The Texas Medical Board uses electronic permits for a more paperless experience and print on demand for licensees. Once your registration/renewal is complete, please allow 2 business days for processing. After that time, you will be able to log into your MyTMB account and view, save or print a copy of your active license.
Please note that primary source verification regarding licensure status is always available to anyone, including licensees’ employers, via the TMB website through ‘Look up a License’.
Licensees can register online up to 60-90 days prior to expiration. If you cannot proceed with online registration, try again closer to your expiration date. If it is less than 60 days prior to expiration, please email us at Registrations@tmb.state.tx.us.
The payment portion of the online registration system is handled by Texas.gov, the official website of Texas. A printable receipt will be provided at the end of the online registration process. In addition, a printable confirmation of payment receipt will be emailed to the address given as part of the Texas.gov payment process. As of May 1, 2025 Texas.gov has a new vender for the payments submitted. The TMB online payments will have a staggered rollout for this new payment vender, so this email receipt will be sent from either “noreply.tmb@egov.com” or “donotreply@snappayglobal.com”.
Additional copies of the receipt will be provided by request only. Submit your request to Registrations@tmb.state.tx.us. Please include your full name, license number, date of payment, and amount paid.
Please note that the Board does not have a “zero balance receipt” that shows that a licensee has a zero balance or that licensee registration has been paid in full, nor can we provide an individualized billing statement of the amount due to complete license registration/renewal.
An additional processing fee of $50 will be charged to those licensees who choose to register through a paper form, when an online option is available. If an online option is not available (ex: license is delinquent or suspended at the time of registration) the additional processing fee will not be required.
To request a hard copy registration form, please contact the Registration Department at Registrations@tmb.state.tx.us or (512) 305-7030.
The Board understands that medical or mental health treatment is a normal part of many people's lives and receiving treatment such as counseling or therapy does not alone disqualify a licensee. However, the Board is obligated to determine whether a licensee is physically and mentally fit to practice and, therefore, must inquire to the extent necessary to make this determination. While the renewal process does include a question pertaining to impairment, the question has been thoughtfully written to limit overly broad probing language that might dissuade health professionals from seeking treatment and reporting their conditions.
Refunds of application/registration fees are available in very limited circumstances. These fees may be refunded in cases of administrative error by the TMB; applicants who withdraw their applications within 45 days of initial application, licensees who retire or request cancellation within 90 days of paying the fee, or on behalf of applicants/licensees who die within 90 days of paying the fee. A pro-rated refund may be requested for good cause by a spouse or personal representative of an applicant/licensee who has died more than 90 days after paying the application/registration fee.
No, there is not. However, military personnel, with questions regarding registration or permits, who are being deployed, should contact the TMB.
