Iowa Code r. 481-572.17 - Renewal of a license, permit, registration, or qualification

(1) To continue practicing in Iowa, a license, permit, registration, or qualification must be renewed prior to its expiration date.

a. Dental hygiene licenses, local anesthesia permits, dental assistant registrations, and dental radiography qualifications expire on August 31 of every odd-numbered year.

b. Dental licenses, faculty permits, moderate sedation permits, and general anesthesia permits expire August 31 of every even-numbered year.

(2) The department will email a renewal notice to each licensee, registrant and permit holder at the most recent email address of record.

a. The licensee, registrant, or permit holder is responsible for successfully completing renewal prior to the license's, registration's or permit's expiration. Failure to receive the renewal notice does not eliminate the responsibility for submitting a timely-filed renewal in order to continue practicing in the state of Iowa.

b. Renewal applications are not considered timely and complete until received by the department and accompanied by all material required for renewal and all applicable fees. Incomplete applications will not be issued renewal.

(3) Applications for renewal must include the following:

a. The appropriate fee, including a penalty for late renewal when applicable, as specified in 481-Chapter 571 must accompany the application for renewal.

b. Licensees, registrants, and permit holders are required to complete continuing education in accordance with 481-Chapter 573 unless claiming a permissible exemption.

(4) Iowa-licensed nurses applying for renewal of a radiography qualification are exempt from providing evidence of current CPR certification.

This rule is intended to implement Iowa Code sections 147.10, 147.25 and 147.80 and chapters 136C, 153 and 272C.
