The Board has transitioned to a new online Licensee Portal, and the majority of your transactions and interactions will now occur inside your portal account. Here is a list of the various services provided by the Board and how to access and submit your documentation or information to the Board.  

The Board's new Online Licensee Portal is a new easy-to-access online portal for your license, certificates, C.A. registrations, externs and preceptorship programs, renewals, and continuing education tracking.

Pursuant to A.R.S. 32-923 (C), The Board shall administratively suspend a license automatically if the licensee does not submit a complete application for renewal and pay the renewal license fee. If you have not submitted a complete application and payment for your 2023 Renewal, your license has been placed on Administrative Suspension. If your license is on ADMINISTRATIVE SUSPENSION, you can only treat patients once your license is restored to ACTIVE.

To restore your license back to ACTIVE, you will need to log into your Licensee Portal and either submit a Renewal Application and pay the required reinstatement fee or, if necessary, submit a Reinstatement. Both processes can be completed through the Licensee Portal.

The 2023 renewal period has closed. If you failed to renew for the 2022 or 2023 renewal period and your license is on Administrative Suspension, and you wish to reinstate your license back to Active status, you will need to log into the licensure portal, complete the Reinstatement Application and pay the necessary application fees. Please thoroughly review the application instructions before submitting it to the Board.

If your license is on Inactive or Retired status and you wish to reinstate your license to Active status, you will need to complete the Reinstatement Application through the licensure portal, submit the necessary continuing education certificates and requested documents, and pay the required reinstatement fees. Additional steps may be required to complete your Reinstatement Application, and it may be required to be reviewed by the Board. 

To submit a Reinstatement Application to the Board, you will need to log into your Licensee Portal and select Reinstatement from the left-hand menu. 

Once you have been issued your Chiropractic License, you will be eligible to apply for your Specialty Certificates. You will not be required to resubmit your NBCE scores or your transcripts. To apply for your specialty certificates, you will log into your licensee portal and select Specialty Certifications and then Start a New Application.
