Mental Health Counselor Associate License expiring in 2027

2,708 of Washington’s 4,050 active mental health counselor associate license credentials — 66.9% of them — were expiring in 2027.

What has to happen before the year is out

Every one of these 2,708 credentials falls due during 2027, 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 2,708 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.

1 of the 2,708 active credentials in this group carry a disciplinary flag in the Department’s file — 0.0% — and 2 carry one marked pending.

This site publishes that count and no more: never who. The reason is not discretion, it is accuracy — the published file carries a yes/no flag and nothing else: no reason, no date, no case number. Naming someone on the strength of it would publish a suspicion rather than a fact. Every credential counted here is active. Why the line is drawn there.

Do not let the date pass

2,708 credentials of this type were expiring in 2027. 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.
