Renew Your Passion: A Guide to Florida SLP License Renewal
As a dedicated speech-language pathologist (SLP) or audiologist, you have the power to change lives. To continue making a difference, it's essential to stay updated with your licensure. In Florida, SLP licenses expire at midnight, Eastern Time, on December 31, 2025. Renewing your license on time ensures that you can keep delivering the vital services that so many rely on.
Why Timely Renewal Matters
Renewing your license before it expires is crucial. Failure to do so will result in your license being placed in delinquent status, and if not renewed before the end of the current licensure cycle, it will become null and void. This could halt your ability to practice and impact the students and clients who depend on your expertise.
Steps to Renew Your License
To renew your license, follow these simple steps:
- Visit flhealthsource.gov and click the “Renew A License” button.
- Enter your Personal Identifying Information (PII) and log in.
- Confirm or update your MQA Services Account email address and proceed.
- In your Dashboard, select the “Renew My License” option, which will appear no later than 90 days before your license expiration date.
If you encounter a "PII Failed" screen, use the “Other Login Option” to access your account with your existing User ID and password.
Fees and Payment
Fees vary depending on your renewal status:
- Before expiration: Active to Active - $80.00, Inactive to Active - $180.00
- After expiration: Active to Active - $155.00, Inactive to Active - $305.00
- 120-day Notified Delinquent: Active to Active - $235.00, Inactive to Active - $335.00
Payments can be made online using a credit or debit card, or by mailing a cashier’s check or money order to the Division of Medical Quality Assurance.
Continuing Education Requirements
Continuing education (CE) is vital for maintaining your skills and staying current with industry standards. Here’s what you need to know:
- General Hours – Clinically Related: 18 hours
- General Hours – Non-Clinical: 10 hours
- Medical Error: 2 hours (must be Board of Speech/Audiology approved)
CE credits should be reported to the Department of Health through CE Broker.
Reactivation and Additional Information
If your license has been inactive for more than two consecutive biennial cycles, you may need to demonstrate competency through an examination or other reactivation requirements. Contact the board office at info@floridasspeechaudiology.gov for details.
