Only a status of "Active", "Emeritus", "Probation", or "Inactive" can update their profile information. If your license is suspended but the expiration date is still valid, you can contact the Board to update your profile. All other statuses cannot update their profile information on our website, and we do not process any address change requests in writing or verbally.
