Certified Master Social Worker Renewal Information

Current licenses will expire at midnight, Eastern Time, March 31, 2013

The process of renewing a license may take two to three weeks. Initiating contact to confirm the receipt of fees or the status of your license prior to this time will not expedite the renewal process.

Delinquent licenses that expired on March 31, 2011 become null and void on April 1, 2013.

Licensees in their first renewal cycle are exempt from continuing education requirements for the current biennium. All other licensees must complete 30 hours of continuing education for the biennium ending March 31, 2011. The hours must be accrued between April 1, 2009 and March 31, 2011. Three of the hours must be in ethics and boundary issues and two of the hours must be in the prevention of medical errors. You are to obtain two hours of domestic violence every third renewal; therefore this requirement should be met either for the biennium ending 3/31/11 or 3/31/13.
