License Renewal Information. All licenses, certifications, and registrations currently expire on June 30 in odd-numbered years. If you successfully renew during the renewal period ending June 30, 2007, you will be issued a license expiring August 31, 2009. All licenses will then expire on August 31 of odd-numbered years. Renewal forms are mailed to the last known address on file approximately six (6) weeks prior to the expiration date.

* Evaluation of educational equivalency
Effective January 5, 2007, educational equivalency reviews for Licensed Professional Counselor applications will not be performed by the Mental Health Board staff at the Division of Registrations.

If you are applying for LPC licensure by exam and your Master's Degree is NOT from a CACREP program, you must submit your educational documentation to the Center for Credentialing and Education (CCE) for a determination of equivalency with Colorado's requirements. An application for a Colorado Educational Equivalency Review can be downloaded from CCE's website at http://cce-global.org/review-management.

Colorado LPC exam applications containing a revision date prior to 1/2007 will not be accepted after January 12, 2007.
