144,057 active credentials — 26.0% of the register — run out during 2026.
Why they do not all fall on the same day
Washington renews on the holder’s birthday, not on a
common date, so these 144,057 expiries are spread across all twelve
months of 2026. That is convenient for the Department and inconvenient for
everyone else: there is no single deadline to remember, and no annual notice
in the press to remind you.
Continuing-education hours are recorded as due for 82,698
of them (57.4%), and those hours have to be finished before the
renewal rather than after it.
This site is not the Department, and nothing here extends a
date. To renew, go through the Department’s own portal — what this
page gives you is the shape of the year, and your own date if you look your
credential up.
144,057 credentials expire during 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.
