How to renew
- Finish the hours from Florida board-approved providers (approved massage schools count). 24 in all: 12 in-person technique hours, 2 medical errors, 1 human trafficking, 2 laws and rules, 2 ethics and 5 general. First renewal: 1 hour per month licensed instead. Find courses on CE Broker.
- Check CE Broker. Every course has to show on your CE Broker transcript before you can renew, and some providers report slowly. The board can't take certificates or add courses for you.
- Check your fingerprints. A renewal needs background screening or retained fingerprints. Check yours in CHAI; if retention runs out in the next 60 days, pay it there.
- Renew online at Florida Health Source (Renew A License), then Renew My License in the MQA Services Portal. It shows up no later than 90 days before expiration, and the department mails a postcard about then.
- Pay $105 before midnight Eastern on August 31, 2027. By mail instead: print the summary and send a cashier's check or money order to MQA, P.O. Box 6320, Tallahassee, FL 32314-6320.
| Fee (board renewal page) | Active to active |
|---|---|
| Renew on time | $105 |
| After it expires (delinquent) | $205 |
| After the 120-day delinquency notice | $310 |
| Fingerprint retention, if due this cycle | $43.25 |
Inactive to active is $205 on time; retiring the license is $55. All fees: the board's renewal page.
If you miss midnight
- On September 1, 2027 an unrenewed license goes delinquent. Board: "Failure to renew an active or inactive license by the expiration date will result in the license being placed in delinquent status."
- Renewing then costs $205, or $310 after the 120-day notice, and you report CE for this cycle and the one before.
- If it is still not renewed by the end of the next cycle (August 31, 2029), it is null and void and can't be reactivated; you apply again.
