Licenses not renewed before July 1, 2026, will require a reinstatement application and may require a Board appearance.

Continuing Education (CE): You cannot renew until you have completed the CE requirements. Do not submit any CE documentation at this time. A random audit will be conducted at the end of the renewal period requiring proof of CEs to be remitted. The Board will not maintain copies of your CE documentation if you submit them with your renewal.

Legal Name Change: If you had a legal name change, prior to renewing your license, please submit a copy of the legal document(s) (i.e., marriage certificate, divorce decree, court order) to the Board for us to update your file. Documents should be submitted directly to the Board by going to: https://eservice.llr.sc.gov/DocumentSubmission/. Check the Board's Licensee Lookup page periodically for your name change. Once your file has been updated, you may then renew your license online.

Inactive Status Information: You may place your license on an inactive status online or by mailing your renewal application to the Board. You are not required to obtain CE hours for this status. You will still need to remit the fees as stated above, including any penalty fees, based upon the date the renewal form is submitted. You may request a paper renewal application by sending an email to contact.pharmacy@llr.sc.gov.

Should you choose to reactivate your currently inactive license, you will need to submit documentation of thirty (30) hours of continuing education for the renewal year. This includes fifteen (15) for the current renewal year and an additional 15 hours of continuing education completed during the calendar year immediately before the date of this renewal application.
