Before attempting to renew a license through the Compact, it is important that you read these details:
- You may not renew any licenses through the Compact that were not obtained through the Compact. If you are unsure how you obtained your medical license, please contact the state medical board that issued the license.
- You are responsible for knowing the renewal dates and fees for any licenses you wish to renew through the Compact.
- The physician holding the medical license must be the person answering questions on the renewal form, below, as they are attested to under penalty of perjury. This applies to each state license being renewed.
- You DO NOT need to have an active Letter of Qualification to renew a license.
If you are able to confirm the three items above, you may renew a license using the Compact.
Step 1. Provide basic contact information and submit payment. See form below. You will be charged a $25.00 application fee in addition to the state's renewal fee.
Step 2. The issuing state board will verify your information and determine if you are qualified for a renewal. You will receive an email of the results.
You can preview renewal documents here.
The IMLCC has prepared an educational video that walks through the renewal application. It is recommended that you watch this video prior to starting your renewal application.
Military Discounts and Waivers
The IMLCC does not offer discounts or waivers of licensing fees for military personnel or their families.
Military discounts or waivers may be offered through the individual state medical boards, and if a compact member state grants a waiver, they will authorize the IMLCC to return the appropriate portion of the license or renewal fee paid.
If you have any questions regarding state discounts or waivers, please contact the individual medical boards directly.
