Get Renewed for 2022 ASAP!
All licenses and permits dated 12/31/2021 have expired.
This means, if you have not renewed YOU NO LONGER HOLD A LICENSE AND CANNOT PRACTICE OR HOLD OUT AS A CPA.
You must be in compliance with Minnesota rules and statutes to hold out or practice.
To renew for 2022, use the appropriate PDF form available in the "Forms" section of the website. Complete and mail in with your check or money order. (Only Inactive status renewing as Inactive can still use Online Services.)
If you wish to go Exempt or Retire, or are seeking Reactivation or Reinstatement, see the separate (not Renewal) forms for those statuses/processes in the "Forms" section of the website.
All late renewals or status changes now include a $50 delinquency fee, in addition to any license/permit fee.
Those earning and/or submitting CPE late also have CPE late fees. These accrue monthly, based on the postmarked date the Board receives your certificates of completion and fee. See the CPE chart below for details.
A special reminder to firm owners that 100% of Minnesota-licensed owners must be renewed by March 1, 2022, or the 2022 permit is REVOKED.
