HOW TO REQUEST INACTIVE STATUS ONLINE

Expand Collapse

 Your New York State license is good for life, however, you MUST register with
us periodically if you wish to practice your profession in New York State. Upon
licensure, you received a registration certificate valid for a period of three
years (two years for physicians). We will mail you an application to renew your
registration to practice approximately four months before your registration
expires. It is your responsibility to notify this office of any change of
address.

If you are not practicing your profession or using your title in New York, you
may place your registration in inactive status free of charge. To do so, you
must advise us of your decision to register inactive. You can do this online
following the steps below or by answering "no" to question 1 on your paper
renewal registration form, signing and returning the form with no fee. If you do
not inform us of such a decision, you are subject to the customary registration
fee for your profession. In the event that you decide to resume practice after
an inactive period, you must reregister your license and meet any post-licensure
requirements imposed on your profession.

If you wish to inactivate your registration online for the next registration
period, you must be able to answer "YES" to the following statements:

 1. There are no more than five (5) months left in my current registration
    period OR my last valid registration period ended less than four (4) months
    ago, and
 2. I have my seven (7) character PIN which appears on the registration renewal
    document sent to me recently.

Please Note! If you are requesting inactive status online:

 * If the application cannot be processed for any reason, we will notify you.
 * There is no charge to change your registration status to "inactive" for the
   new period.
 * Your registration will not show as 'inactive' until the beginning of the new
   registration period. Please disregard any additional renewal notices you may
   receive for this registration period after you have inactivated online.
   * The Office of the Professions Online License Verification service will show
     your current registration as "registered" until the current registration
     period ends, then be converted to "inactive" at the beginning of the new
     period.
 * An online transaction cannot be deleted once it is completed. However, if you
   end a session before all steps are completed, no changes will be made to your
   records. If you do not complete the transaction, your registration status
   will not be changed to "inactive" for the new period.
 * Once you are inactive, if you would like to reactivate your registration
   status in the future, please submit a Delayed Registration Application.

If you wish to reactivate a registration that is inactive or has lapsed, you
will need to submit a Delayed Registration Application.

     You are required to register the main registration address. If you have 9
     or fewer offices you can register them all online. You will receive a
     separate paper application for each additional office including for offices
     10 and over. Please be certain that separate payments by check have not
     already been made as those transactions will not be reflected online and
     refunds will not be made. To add additional office addresses, call
     518-474-3817, extension 410, or, for an e-mail response contact us.
      
 4.  Is this system secure?
     
     Yes! Our Website is secured by Verisign's SSL (secure sockets layer)
     encryption technology for all personal data input. Encryption is a way of
     coding the information in a file so that if it is intercepted by a third
     party as it travels over the Internet, it cannot be read. Only we can read
     your encrypted information.
     
     The application will time out after 30 minutes of inactivity.
     
     If you are using a public or shared computer, we also recommend that you
     clear the browser cache and history at the end of your session.
      
 5.  Which internet browsers are compatible with OP Online Registration Renewal?
     
     Most are compatible but if you experience trouble renewing, try a different
     browser and/or device.
      
 6.  Who do I contact if I have technical difficulties when using OP Online
     Registration Renewal?
     
     Should you have technical problems, please email OPONLINE@nysed.gov(link
     sends email) or call 518-474-3817 Ext. 410 business days between 8:30 AM
     and 4:45 PM ET.
      
 7.  When will my new registration period show on the OP Online License
     Verification?
     
     Once your online application renewal is submitted, you will be contacted by
     OP if more information is required to process your application and it may
     take 2 business days for processing applications that do not require any
     additional follow-up.
      
 8.  I still show as Pending Renewal on the OP Online Renewal but I have a
     Registration Certificate for the registration period indicated. Why?
     
     The information on OP Online Renewal is static and does not change when
     your record on the OP Licensing Computer System is updated. Your current
     registration status will always be available on our Online License
     Verification at https://www.op.nysed.gov/verification-search.
      
 9.  I made a mistake answering the citizenship question. How can I fix this?
     
     Please complete a Statement of Citizenship/Immigration Status (Form CZI)
     and submit it to the Office of the Professions at the address at the end of
     the form.
      
 10. My new registration period is less than 3 years (2 years for Medicine,
     Physician Assistants, Specialist Assistants and Medical Physics), why?
     
     There is a transitional registration period for your second registration
     after licensure or after reactivation of your registration. This period
     will end with the month prior your date of birth between 2 and 3 years from
     the date of your first registration (1 and 2 years for Medicine, Physician
     Assistants, Specialist Assistants and Medical Physics).
     
     This allows the Department to adjust your triennial registration cycle to
     coincide with the month of your date of birth and helps to ensure speedy
     renewal of your registration. The registration fee for this transitional
     period is pro-rated so that you only pay for the number of months included
     in the period. Continuing Education Requirements are also pro-rated.
     
     Thereafter, your registration periods will be 3 years (2 years for
     Medicine, Physician Assistants, Specialist Assistants and Medical Physics).

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS REGARDING PHOTO IDS

Expand Collapse
 1.  What is a Professional Photo ID Card?
     
     This is a wallet size card that has your photo and signature as they appear
     on your NYS driver license, your name, profession, license number, DMV
     identification number and expiration date (this date coincides with the
     expiration date of your of your professional license registration).
      
 2.  Why would a licensed and registered professional need or want a
     Professional Photo ID card when we already have a license document and a
     registration certificate?
     
     Professional Photo ID Cards are offered to ease proper identification of
     professional licensees in day-to-day professional activities as well as in
     times of critical need. With increased emphasis on disaster preparedness
     has come the acute awareness that New York State’s vast resource of
     licensed professionals are key to any plan to address critical needs when
     they arise and Professional Photo ID cards will greatly facilitate the
     provision of needed services in an emergency.
      
 3.  How can I apply for a Professional Photo ID Card?
     
     When renewing online, you will be given the option on the payment page to
     apply for a Photo ID for an additional $30. This option may be chosen at
     the time of renewal or at a later time during your registration period.
      
 4.  What if I want a Photo ID Card before my next registration renewal?
     
     You are eligible to apply for a Professional Photo ID Card as long as you
     are currently registered. You may sign into Online Registration to order
     it. There is a PIN number retrieval function available. The Professional
     Photo ID Card expires at the end of your current registration period no
     matter when you apply for it.
      
 5.  Who can get a Professional Photo Identification Card?
     
     All currently registered licensed professionals can apply for a card.
     (Please Note: You must have 4 or more months remaining on your registration
     period to apply.)
      
 6.  Does the Professional Photo ID Card replace my license parchment or
     registration certificate?
     
     No. The Professional Photo Identification Card is in addition to the
     license and registration documents. The Photo ID may be useful in emergency
     situations, when a licensed professional works in a setting other than an
     office, etc.
      
 7.  What is the cost of the Professional Photo ID Card?
     
     The cost is $30.
      
 8.  How long is the Professional Photo ID Card valid?
     
     Professional Photo ID Cards expire on the same date that your registration
     period expires. You will be given the opportunity to reapply for a
     Professional Photo ID Card each time you renew your registration.
      
 9.  I am licensed in more than one profession, can I get one Professional Photo
     ID Card that has all the information for both professions?
     
     No. Each Professional Photo ID Card can contain the information for one
     profession. If you are licensed in more than one profession and you want a
     Professional Photo ID for each, you will need to apply and pay separately
     for each profession.
      
 10. Will the Professional Photo ID Card show privileges?
     
     No. Professional Photo ID Cards will not contain privilege information.
      
 11. What if I live outside New York State or do not have a New York State
     Driver License?
     
     Licensed and registered professionals who live outside New York State who
     want a Professional Photo ID will need to have a photo taken at a NYS DMV
     office(link is external). This photo is taken at no charge. Before going to
     a DMV office, licensed professionals need to call the Registration & Fees
     Unit at 518-474-3817, ext 410 and they will issue a form explaining the
     process. This is not only useful to the licensed professional but also
     serves as a reminder to the DMV office staff who may not yet had occasion
     to provide this free service.
      
 12. I practice my profession with a different name than appears on my New York
     State Driver License.  Will I be able to obtain a Photo ID?
     
     No. The name on your professional license issued by the New York State
     Education Department must match your name on your NYS driver license,
     non-driver ID card or the name you provide on the form to have your photo
     taken at a NYS DMV office as discussed above.
      
 13. Who do I contact if I have additional questions about obtaining a
     Professional Photo ID Card?
     Questions about a Professional Photo ID card or inquiring about the status
     of a request may be submitted with this form.
