Nevada DO license renewal deadline: December 31, 2026

What you need to renew

40 hours every 2 years

AB 56 (2025) moved DO licenses from annual to biennial renewal: NRS 633.471 now says a license is renewed on or before December 31 of each even-numbered year, with at least 40 hours of Board-approved CME in the preceding biennium. Transition: under NAC 633.250 as amended by Adopted Regulation R092-25, a renewal on or before December 31, 2026 still needs 35 hours attended during the preceding year (2026), including 10 hours of category 1A and 2 hours on controlled substances; renewals after December 31, 2026 need 40 hours in the preceding biennium, including 20 hours of category 1A and 4 hours on controlled substances. The figures here are for the biennial cycle (2027–2028 onward).
