    Make sure your hours reach the board

    In Indiana, you keep your certificate of completion and present it to the board if asked.

  5. 5

    Renew with Indiana Professional Licensing Agency

    Submit your renewal and pay the renewal fee before the deadline. A late renewal usually means a late fee, and a lapsed license can mean re-applying from scratch.
