How often must a pharmacy technician renew their registration?

Pharmacy technicians are required to renew their registration every two years, specifically on the last day of their birthday month. This timeframe is established to ensure that all practicing pharmacy technicians maintain their credentials and are up to date with any regulations and requirements that may have changed since their last renewal. Regular renewal also serves as a mechanism for the state Board of Pharmacy to monitor and uphold the professional standards necessary for pharmacy practice, ensuring the safety and efficacy of pharmaceuticals provided to the public.

The structure of this renewal process is designed to match the frequency of many continuing education requirements and allows technicians to stay current in their knowledge and skills. This system also helps to create a clear and manageable timeline for both the technicians and the Board, simplifying administrative processes.
