NJ License Renewal Notice
Will be Coming By Mail
All NJ Social Work Licenses & Certifications are due for renewal this summer. Your license must be renewed by August 31, 2016 or you cannot work as a social worker in New Jersey.
Renewal notices for Social Work Licenses (LSW or LCSW) and Certifications (CSW) will arrive in the mail between June 15 and July 15. The notice will be sent from the Office of the Attorney General, Division of Consumer Affairs, not from the Board of Social Work Examiners (BSWE).
Please watch for this mailing. It will not be in a regular envelope. It looks like a check from the government (with tear strips on 3 sides).
License renewal is online only but you will need your
notice in order to renew. This notice will provide you with unique instructions on how to renew your license or certification.
Watch newSWire or see the NASW-NJ Web site (
www.naswnj.org) for more information after July 1st.

Did you know that there is no limit to the number of online CEUs you can take for your NJ license?
Are you looking for online CEUs that are valid for your NJ license or certification?
