# Washington health credentials expiring in 2028 — 69,951 of them

> 69,951 active Washington health care credentials expire during 2028, across 80 professions. Which ones, and what has to be done before the date.

## Expiring in 2028

**69,951** active credentials — 12.6% of the register — run out during 2028.

### Why they do not all fall on the same day

Washington renews on the holder’s **birthday**, not on a
common date, so these 69,951 expiries are spread across all twelve
months of 2028. 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 **38,024**
of them (54.4%), 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.

### Do not let the date pass

69,951 credentials expire during 2028. 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](/privacy.md).
