i Deadlines, fees, and what happens if you are late

When it is due
Licensee's birthdate. As of April 1, 2026, DOPL began transitioning the Board of Medicine to biennial licenses that expire on the licensee's birthday, phased in by odd/even birth year so renewals spread across two cycles. Before this transition, DOPL licenses renewed on a June cycle (1-year or 2-year licenses in the month of June). Renewal can be completed up to 60 days before the birthday expiration. Physicians mid-transition should confirm their individual expiration date in the eDOPL portal.
Fee
$160 per year for both Physician and Surgeon (MD) and Osteopathic Physician and Surgeon (DO), effective January 1, 2025 (reduced from $200). DOPL states biennial renewals are charged only for whole years, so a 2-year renewal doubles the annual fee, but the board has not published a single biennial dollar figure.
If you miss the deadline
No published grace period or separate late fee. An unrenewed license lapses. A license lapsed less than 5 years may be reinstated by submitting a renewal application with ALL back renewal fees, a $35 reinstatement fee, and proof of required CME. A license lapsed more than 5 years requires a completely new licensure application.

4 Frequently Asked Questions

When is my Idaho medical license renewal due? ▾
As of April 1, 2026, DOPL is transitioning the Board of Medicine to biennial licenses that expire on your birthdate, phased in by odd/even birth year. You can renew up to 60 days before expiration. Check your exact expiration date in the eDOPL portal (https://edopl.idaho.gov/OnlineServices/).
How much does renewal cost? ▾
The renewal fee is $160 per year for both MDs and DOs (reduced from $200 effective January 1, 2025). Under the new biennial cycle DOPL charges only for whole years, so a 2-year renewal doubles the annual fee.
Where do I renew? ▾
Online through the DOPL Online Services portal at https://edopl.idaho.gov/OnlineServices/. Associate your web profile with your existing license before starting.
What CME do I need at renewal? ▾
40 hours of practice-relevant Category 1 CME every 2 years (Idaho Admin. Code 22.01.01-079; confirmed on the board site). ABMS/AOA/RCPSC certification or recertification is accepted.
What happens if my license lapses? ▾
If lapsed less than 5 years, you can reinstate by filing a renewal application with all back renewal fees, a $35 reinstatement fee, and proof of CME. If lapsed more than 5 years, you must submit a new application for licensure.
Do MDs and DOs renew with different boards? ▾
No. Idaho has a single Board of Medicine under DOPL that licenses and renews both Physician and Surgeon (MD) and Osteopathic Physician and Surgeon (DO) licenses at the same $160 annual fee.
