Colorado Nursing License Renewal

A Simple Online Process

Nurses who already hold a nursing license in Colorado need to be aware of license expiration. Online License Renewal does not open until approximately 4-6 weeks prior to the Colorado state nursing license expiration date. After that, a nurse can complete the renewal process online.

 

Nurses should note that there is a $108 fee for nursing license renewal.

RNs who have let their Colorado license expire or lapse need to apply for reinstatement.
