LICENSE RENEWALS
AVAILABLE OCTOBER 1, 2026

If your license expires December 31, 2026, you may renew your license online with a credit card beginning October 1, 2026, using the login links above. All online renewal payments must be completed by 11:59 PM, December 31, 2026, to avoid a late fee.

The Board no longer mails license renewal certificates. You may print your current license renewal certificate at any time by logging in below and selecting "certificate." Office permits will be found under "office permits." Your personal anesthesia permit is printed on your license renewal certificate.

If you wish to renew your license with a check or money order, you must renew your license by mail using a paper renewal application. Please contact the Board office at 225-219-7330 for a paper renewal application. Paper renewal applications must include all appropriate fees and must be postmarked back to the Board office by December 31, 2026, to avoid a delinquent fee.

BLS, ACLS, PALS

ALL BLS, ACLS, AND PALS CARDS MUST BE UPLOADED INTO THE CPR SECTION IN CE BROKER. IF YOU SUBMIT THEM AS REGULAR CLINICAL HOURS, THE REQUIRED CPR FLAGS WILL NOT BE CLEARED.

ANESTHESIA/SEDATION CE
If you hold a moderate sedation or general anesthesia permit, you are now required to complete 6 hours of related CE each time you renew. However, if you completed 12 hours during 2023 or 2024 to renew your permit in 2024, you are exempt from the 6 hour requirement for your 2026 renewal. Please email Megan Wooten at megan@lsbd.org that you completed the 12 hours during 2023 or 2024 and that you need an exemption entered into your CE Broker account.

LICENSEE SUBSTANCE ABUSE AND MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES

The Board is committed to protecting the public but does not wish to discourage its licensees from seeking treatment for substance abuse issues or mental health issues. We would like to let our licensees know that seeking that type of treatment does not necessarily cause one to lose a license. Informing the board of this type of treatment may cause the board to request an independent evaluation to make sure that the licensee is safe to practice, but as long as the licensee is safe to practice no action will be taken against a license.
