Full License Renewal Information

2005 was a renewal year for physician licenses and approximately 22,000 full licenses renewed their licenses by December 31, 2005. 2006 is an "off" year, and only approximately 8,000 physicians will renew. As requested by our licensees, the Board of Registration in Medicine has implemented several format changes on the renewal application. The most significant change is the layout of the application, which is now easier to read and provides more detailed instructions. Physicians are advised to start the license renewal process immediately to ensure the timely renewal of their medical license and to be attentive to following requirements on the renewal application.

Please read the instructions carefully before completing your application, and remember: your license expires at 11:59 p.m. on your birthday. If the Board has not renewed your license by your birthday in your renewal year, YOU MAY NOT PRACTICE MEDICINE IN MASSACHUSETTS IN ANY FASHION OR CAPACITY.
