Your Maine RN license expires on your birthday, every two years.
Your own expiration date is on your license and in the state license lookup.
| Board | Maine State Board of Nursing |
|---|---|
| Cycle | Every two years on or before your birthday (first license 1 to 2 years); $75; no grace period |
| Continuing education | No CE hours are listed on the board's RN pages we checked; check with the board |
Your first license lasts one to two years depending on your birthdate; after that you renew every two years on or before your birthday, online only. The RN renewal fee is $75. There is no grace period: a late renewal means a lapsed license, and practicing on it can bring a $500 fine.
From the state's rule text, checked November 10, 2026. The rule: "expiring on the anniversary of the applicant's birth"
