Rulemaking Details/Process
Get Your Renewal Application in Today!
All licenses and permits with a 12/31/2022 expiration date have expired.
If you have not renewed for 2023, 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 2023, 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 to renew.)
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, 2023, or the 2023 permit is REVOKED.
"Am I Renewed for 2023?"
To check your renewal status, use the "Find a CPA/CPA Firm" lookups, which are on the Board's main website. You (or your firm) will show up as "Expired" if expired or with a "12/31/2023" expiration date if renewed.
If you only just submitted the renewal application, add an appropriate number of delivery days (if mailed) plus 2-3 business days for processing before checking, as the renewal may otherwise still be in progress.
Beware of Email Phishing
The Minnesota Board has learned that a phishing message claiming to be from the Minnesota Board regarding "licensee fee changes" has been circulating. The Board sent no such message (and there are no fee increases). If received, follow the best practices at your firm for dealing with suspicious emails.
