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

When it is due
Fixed date: all physician licenses expire January 31 of every year. Renewal information is mailed and/or emailed on or before December 1. A renewal is timely if the fee is received before expiration; forms postmarked February 1 or after are delinquent, except that when January 31 falls on a weekend or legal holiday, a postmark on the next business day is not delinquent (20 CSR 2150-2.001(17)).
Fee
$147 (Permanent Physician Renewal Fee, MD and DO alike, 1-year registration) per 20 CSR 2150-2.080(1)(A)4. All fees are nonrefundable.
Late fee
$25 Late Renewal Fee (Delinquent Fee) per 20 CSR 2150-2.080(1)(B)4; the board may waive it for extenuating circumstances such as illness (section 334.090, RSMo), but failure to receive a renewal notice is expressly not an extenuating circumstance (20 CSR 2150-2.001(8))
If you miss the deadline
No practice grace period: once expired you cannot practice in Missouri until renewal is granted. Late renewal remains possible through MOPRO with the $25 delinquent fee. If registration lapses more than 6 months, the renewal application is denied unless accompanied by all required fees plus a completed renewal application made under oath with full disclosure of disciplinary actions and current physical and mental fitness (20 CSR 2150-2.050); the fee schedule lists a $75 Reinstatement Fee. If the license is not renewed for two consecutive renewal periods it becomes VOID (section 334.080, RSMo); a void license may not be renewed or reactivated (20 CSR 2150-2.001(18)). A license revoked, suspended, or inactive more than 2 years can require 25 hrs CME per lapsed year plus a competency exam (SPEX, specialty board exam, or CPEP/PACE assessment) for reinstatement (20 CSR 2150-2.150); inactive more than 5 years may trigger reexamination (20 CSR 2150-2.153).

4 Frequently Asked Questions

When does my Missouri physician license expire? ▾
January 31 of every year, for all physicians. Renewal information is mailed and/or emailed on or before December 1 to the address on file (pr.mo.gov physician application instructions, 375-0457.pdf).
How much does renewal cost? ▾
$147 for a permanent physician license, plus a $25 late renewal (delinquent) fee if the renewal is postmarked February 1 or later. All fees are nonrefundable (20 CSR 2150-2.080).
Where do I renew? ▾
Online through the Division of Professional Registration's MOPRO system at mopro.mo.gov/license/s/, which handles both on-time and late renewals. You must first register a MOPRO account using an email address the board has on record.
Can I keep practicing if I miss the January 31 deadline? ▾
No. The board's own instructions state that if your license expires you cannot practice in Missouri until your renewal is granted. Late renewal with the $25 delinquent fee is available, but practice must stop until it is processed.
What happens if I do not renew for a long time? ▾
Over 6 months lapsed: renewal requires a sworn application with disciplinary and fitness disclosures plus all fees, including the $75 reinstatement fee (20 CSR 2150-2.050). Two consecutive missed renewal periods: the license becomes void and cannot be renewed; you must start over with a new application (334.080, RSMo). Inactive or lapsed over 2 years: the board may require 25 CME hours per lapsed year and a passing SPEX, specialty board, or CPEP/PACE assessment (20 CSR 2150-2.150).
Does renewal require CME? ▾
Yes, but on a separate fixed 2-year clock: 50 hours of Category 1 type credit per biennium running January 1 of an even year through December 31 of the odd year, including 1 hour on nutrition, attested at renewal. The board will not renew without it, though a $25 CME extension fee exists (20 CSR 2150-2.125 and 2.080). ABMS certification or recertification during the period is accepted.
