Renewal Information

PHARMACIST RENEWAL INFORMATION

License renewals are now available online. You will need information from your renewal form, as well as your checkbook or credit card. Please visit the Online Pharmacy License Renewal to find out more details.

Pharmacist licenses are renewed for two years.  Pharmacists with license numbers that end in an even number renew on the even years.  Pharmacists with license numbers that end in an odd number will renew on the odd years.  Don't wait until the last minute to obtain the 30 hours of continuing education.

If your license is not renewed and moves to canceled status, you will be required to pay one late fee and the renewal fee for each year your license was lapsed and submit up to 60 hours of continuing education. If you decide to reciprocate to another state, you need to reciprocate off an original license. An original license is a license where you applied to get your initial license and any state that you score transferred to. If your Kansas license is an original license and you do not have an original license in any other state, you should not let your Kansas license lapse. If you do not plan to reciprocate your license ever again, then letting your license lapse might be an option.
