Key Takeaways

  • •Physician assistant licenses expire at midnight on the last day of their birth month every two years.
  • •You must renew your license before it expires by filling out a form and paying a fee.
  • •The board can set up a system where licenses expire at different times and adjust fees if needed.

Example

If your birthday is in June and you got your license in 2022, it will expire at midnight on June 30, 2024.

You need to renew your license before June 30, 2024, by sending in a form and paying the fee. If you don't, your license will expire, and you won't be able to work as a physician assistant.
