As you complete
the section of the renewal form that asks you to list persons under
your clinical supervision, please refer to the summary of supervision requirements, and note the
difference between supervision of unlicensed persons, and supervision
of a Temporary license holder. Only a Temporary Licensee may
perform initial evaluation and final fitting and dispensation activities
under "distance" supervision. Please note as well
the benefits offered by Temporary licensure to those on track to
gain full licensure in the profession. Progression of a license
from Temporary to Full now only requires submission of documentation
reflecting successful exam and/or completion of supervision - no
new application, no new fee!
Temporary
Licenses are renewed on an anniversary date
basis, and may only be renewed once. For Temporary License requirements,
click here.
We cannot accept renewal applications by fax, as payment must accompany
the form. We expect to offer online renewal during next year's
cycle.
Late renewals incur a $150 penalty on top of the renewal fee;
the penalty fee requirement is established by statute and
rule 4779-12-01,
and thus is mandatory and cannot be administratively waived. OAC
Rule 4779-8-01 provides that a non-renewed
license may be placed on "lapsed status" by the Board,
and any licensee who fails to renew and continues to practice more
than 30 days past expiration date may be subject to enforcement
action
