2025 Online Renewal Portal Opening Delayed

The online renewal portal will open in early November for the 2025 renewal cycle. The opening is delayed this year because of scheduled security updates by our credit card processing vendor.

Registrants who would like to renew in October can still do so by submitting a paper renewal form and check.

Renewal notices will be emailed to the email address on file for all registrants once the security updates have been completed. We anticipate this will be the first week of November.

You can update your email address and other contact information through the registrant portal, or by contacting our office at 702-486-7300 or nsbaidrd@nsbaidrd.nv.gov. Renewal forms can be found on our website.

Applications for CEU Exemption Due Sept 30

Nevada law requires registrants to complete 8 CEUs each year for registration renewal. Registrants who are unable to meet the continuing education requirements due to illness, physical disability or undue hardship may apply to the board for an exemption. Exemption applications must be submitted by September 30, 2024. 

The following registrants are exempt from the CEU requirement and are not required to submit an application for exemption:

• A registrant holding an initial certificate of registration is exempt from the requirements for continuing education for the year in which the registration was issued and the following year (Reg. No. 9078, 291-ID, 429-RD and higher).
• A registrant who serves on active duty in the Armed Forces of the United States for a period of more than 120 consecutive days during a calendar year is exempt from the requirements for continuing education for that calendar year.

Inquiries are routinely sent to both registrants and non-registrants for alleged violations of Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS) and Nevada Administrative Codes (NAC).  

There were two cases this period that were submitted for board consideration and approved. Additionally, five cases were closed because there was no basis for the allegations or the complaint did not fall within the board's jurisdiction.

The following cases were closed by means of settlement agreement. As part of the agreement respondents agreed to assure compliance with Chapter 623. Should the respondents be involved in a subsequent case and found to have again violated NRS, NAC or Rules of Conduct, the case may be used as an aggravating factor.

Every effort is made to ensure that the following information is correct. Before making any decision based on this information you should contact the NSBAIDRD.
