Expiring in 2029

6,385 active credentials — 1.2% of the register — run out during 2029.

Why they do not all fall on the same day

Washington renews on the holder’s birthday, not on a common date, so these 6,385 expiries are spread across all twelve months of 2029. 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 266 of them (4.2%), 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

6,385 credentials expire during 2029. 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.
