The rules for using CredentialDesk.

What this site is

CredentialDesk is a free, informational reference for license renewal and continuing-education requirements. It is not legal advice, not a compliance service, and not a substitute for your state licensing board's official guidance. It does not track your deadlines, email you, or take any action on your behalf. It publishes what boards publish, and reading it is the entire transaction.

Requirement figures (CE hours, renewal cycle, fees, mandatory topics) are sourced from official state boards and dated on each page. Boards change their rules. Always confirm directly with your board before relying on a number shown here for a decision that affects your license.

No warranty

This site is provided without warranty of any kind. We compile requirement data with reasonable care and correct errors reported to us, but we cannot guarantee every figure is current at every moment. Corrections are welcome via hello@credentialdesk.com.

Not affiliated with any licensing board

CredentialDesk is an independent, privately operated site. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or acting on behalf of any state licensing board, and we do not process license renewals or CE credit reporting on any board's behalf.

You are responsible for your own deadlines

CredentialDesk is a reference, not a compliance service, and nothing here transfers responsibility for meeting a deadline away from you. If a figure on this site is out of date or wrong, you remain solely responsible for renewing your license and meeting your board's requirements on time. When in doubt, your board's own page is the authority, and we link it on every requirement page for exactly that reason.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, CredentialDesk and its operator will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages, or for any loss, penalty, lapse, or missed deadline arising from your reliance on any information or requirement figure provided by this site, even if we have been advised of the possibility. Your sole and exclusive remedy for any dissatisfaction with the site is to stop using it.

External links

This site links to state licensing boards and CE course providers for reference and convenience. Those sites have their own terms and privacy policies, and we don't control their content.
