Idaho DO license renewal deadline: depends on your license
Your birthday (the license expiration date); you can renew up to 60 days early. Licenses renew every 2 years.
Find your deadline
In Idaho, the date depends on your license: your birthday, every two years (licenses are moving from annual or June renewal to two-year licenses that expire on your birthday, phased in by birth year from April 1, 2026).
Reminders 90, 30 and 7 days before. No account needed.
What you need to renew
40 hours every 2 years
DOPL announced in March 2026 that from April 1, 2026 it is moving Board of Medicine licensees from one-year or two-year licenses renewed in June to two-year licenses that expire on the licensee's birthday (birth year ignored), phased in by whether you were born in an even or odd year; new licenses run at least two years to a birthday. DOPL says the CE requirement does not change. IDAPA 24.33.01.100.04: at renewal you attest to 40 hours of practice-relevant CME during the prior two years, or to current specialty board certification (ABMS, AOA or the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada), or to full-time residency or fellowship training. Check your own expiration date in your DOPL online account.
