 Reminders

• If you are not an Owner, Shareholder, CEO, Board of Directors, Vice President, or Other type of owner, select Authorized Representative as your “Role” to avoid seeing your name on the certificate as an owner.
• Do not click “Start New License” when renewing - A new license application will result in a new State ID and a gap in licensure which may affect your billing.
• Paper applications are no longer accepted. Please renew online.
• Renew within 60 days after the expiration date to avoid forfeiture of State laboratory license and termination of CLIA certification.
