When Is Renewal Required?

Biennially, or every odd numbered year. The pharmacy technician licenses are going to expire on the 31st of October of the renewal year. Those renewal applications are going to be sent by the board to the home address of the pharmacy technician. There are none of them available online. Don’t forget about the $25 renewal fee either.

Here Are A Few More Tips:

  • The pharmacist that is in charge is the one responsible for the actions of everyone in the pharmacy.
  • The certificate of registration of every pharmacy technician must be displayed in the pharmacy and visible to the public at all times.
  • There is usually a ratio of two pharmacy technicians for every pharmacist. But there can be three of them if two out of the three pharmacy technicians have been certified by a board approved program.
