Dental Hygiene Renewable Temporary License expiring in 2026

160 of Washington’s 513 active dental hygiene renewable temporary license credentials — 31.2% of them — were expiring in 2026.

What has to happen before the year is out

Every one of these 160 credentials falls due during 2026, each on its holder’s own birthday rather than on a common date. Washington lets a lapsed credential be renewed late — up to a year for most nursing credentials, two for advanced practice — but late is not the same as current, and an employer checking on the day will read it as it stands.

The Department records continuing-education hours due for 160 of them (100.0%). Those hours have to be completed before the renewal, which is why a date late in the year is not as far away as it looks.

None of the 160 active credentials in this group carries a disciplinary flag in the Department’s published file.

Do not let the date pass

160 credentials of this type were expiring in 2026. Washington renews most of them on the holder’s birthday, every year or every two years, and continuing-education hours have to be done before that date — not after. Leave your details and we will tell you when yours is close, and pass your request for continuing-education hours to providers who teach for this credential.

We take no commission and we vouch for no training provider. We have no arrangement with any provider today — we are collecting these requests in order to go and find them. What we do with this.
