Court Reporters License Renewal, Reinstatement, & Other Resources

Renewal

License renewals are due by June 30th. The grace period for your license is 6 months.

Effective May 1st, we will enter another regularly scheduled biennial renewal period. Remember, you must complete your CE and submit your renewal application through your online CORE account by no later than June 30th. Reminders will be sent out during the first week of May, but you will be permitted to submit your renewal application as early as May 1st and attest to the completion of your CE. We no longer require that you attach your CE to your renewal application, but you must have completed it and attest to that fact at the time of your application.

Renewed licenses could take 7 to 10 days to get to your mailing address.

How to Renew an Active License
