Correct or renew your registration

Fix a registration detail you entered wrong, or record a renewed or subsequent registration the BBS issued.

Your registration anchors which of your hours count and when. When a detail was entered wrong, or the BBS issues you a new registration, Licentio has a dedicated flow so your record stays accurate. You reach both from your Pathway page: Edit registration on the active row, and Add renewed registration below the list.

Correct your registration

Use Correct your registration when a detail was entered wrong — a typo in your associate registration number, or an incorrect issue or expiration date. It asks for the corrected Associate registration number, Issue date, and Expiration date, then Save corrections.

Correcting is for fixing mistakes on your current registration. It doesn't create a new one.

Record a renewed registration

Use Capture your renewed registration when the BBS issues you a new registration — a renewal, or a Subsequent Registration. Enter the New associate registration number, New issue date, and New expiration date, then Save renewal.

Licentio marks your prior registration as superseded (or lapsed, if there's a gap between the old expiration and the new issue date) and makes the new one active. Your history stays intact, which matters because your hours are tied to the registration that was active when you earned them.

"Superseded" means one registration cleanly followed another. "Lapsed" means there was a gap between them. The distinction can affect how hours around that period are treated, so record renewals promptly and accurately.

Changing your degree date

Your degree completion date isn't part of this flow, because it isn't a property of any one registration. It lives on the Qualifying degree card on your Pathway page. Enter the corrected date there and select Save degree date, and it applies to your whole record.

Changing your license type

There's no self-serve flow for this one. If you picked the wrong license, or you've switched the license you're pursuing, contact support@licent.io with your official records and the team will sort it out with you.

Gotchas

A gap between registrations can turn into lapsed hours. If your new registration starts after your old one expired, hours earned in the gap may not count. File your renewal before your current registration expires whenever you can.

Correct vs. renew are different actions. Fixing a typo is Correct. A new registration from the BBS is Renew. Using the wrong one leaves your history inaccurate.
A renewed registration isn't a second pathway. Renewing continues the pathway you're on. Your targets don't change; what changes is which dates your hours are measured against.

FAQ

What's the difference between correcting and renewing? Correcting fixes wrong details on your current registration. Renewing records a new registration the BBS issued you and supersedes the old one.

Will changing my registration affect hours I already logged? Your hours stay attached to the registration that was active when you earned them. Recording renewals accurately keeps that history correct.

I switched the license I'm pursuing. What happens to my hours? Contact support@licent.io. Caps and minimums differ between licenses, so a switch is handled with you rather than by a self-serve setting.
