Online Renewals
The Division of Registrations has instituted Online Renewals for all Nursing licenses. Approximately six (6) weeks prior to the expiration date of your license, you will receive a letter in the mail confirming this information.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Once you begin the online renewal process, you must complete your renewal by using Online Services. You cannot begin part of the process online and then complete the renewal by mailing in the fee or other required information.
To renew your license, please follow these steps:
- Go to the Registrations Online Services home page (www.doradls.state.co.us).
- Click "I have an individual license" then click the "Continue" button.
- If you are a returning Registrations Online Services user, enter your SSN and password in the fields on the right. If you are a new user and don't have a password, click the link labeled "Set up password" on the left, then follow the instructions to set up your password.
- If you need to update any contact information, click on the button labeled, "Update Contact Information" then complete the instructions for updating your information (e.g. mailing address, phone number, e-mail address).
- When you are ready to renew, click the button labeled "Renew this License" and follow the instructions.
- Complete the Nurse Compact Requirements, the Affidavit of Eligibility requirement, and the Renewal Questionnaire requirement. After those items have been completed, you may click the "Pay Now” button.
- Pay for your renewal using our secure payment system. You can pay by credit card (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, or Discover) or by debit card (as long as it bears the Visa or MasterCard logo).
- Print your renewal confirmation page for your records. You are done!
If you experience technical issues when renewing online, please send an e-mail to the System Support Unit: regonline@dora.state.co.us. For all other inquiries regarding your renewal, call (303) 894-2984.
There is a 60-day renewal grace period following the license expiration date, during which time you will have to pay an additional late fee to renew your license. After the 60-day grace period has ended without completing renewal, your license will be lapsed and you must then apply for reinstatement. Refer to the Licensee / Applicant Services web page for your profession to determine the requirements for reinstatement and to download the proper application.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: Starting January 1, 2007, pursuant to House Bill 06S-1009, CRS 24-34-107, only persons lawfully present in the United States will be issued a license. Therefore, ALL licensees renewing after January 1, 2007 will be required to complete and sign an Affidavit of Eligibility and may also be required to provide proof of being lawfully present in the United States.
Benefits of Renewing Online
- It is fast. When you renew online, your renewal information is transmitted to the division immediately and you should receive your new license within two weeks. When you renew by mail, it can take up to four weeks for your renewal application to be processed.

- It is secure. We take your privacy and security seriously. Registrations Online Services uses the most up-to-date security technology to keep your confidential information secure.
Disclosure
of Criminal Conduct
During
the licensing process, the division asked whether you have ever
been disciplined in any state, arrested, charged, convicted, or
pled guilty to a crime. After initial licensure, all licensees have
a duty to report subsequent felony convictions and disciplinary
actions. Some must also report misdemeanors related to the specific
practice. Failure to disclose could constitute grounds alone for
revocation of your license.
Licensure is a privilege, not a right. In order to obtain and retain the privilege, you must be completely honest. The division conducts annual audits of its licensing database against several criminal and national disciplinary databases, which allows the division to track subsequent criminal conduct and disciplinary actions after initial licensure.
An arrest, disciplinary action,
or subsequent criminal conviction does not mean an automatic revocation
of your license. The board or program will look at the facts surrounding
the criminal conduct and disciplinary action to determine whether
you are still fit for licensure. Your license will not necessarily
be revoked if you have been disciplined, arrested, charged or convicted,
but your license will most likely be revoked if you fail to disclose
it.
