The annual licence renewal period will begin on April 1, 2025. Renewal applications are completed entirely through the NSOTR's online portal.

The deadline to submit a completed renewal request is May 31. However, any renewal applications completed after May 15 are subject to a $100 late renewal fee.

Registrants may also choose to surrender their licence if they do not plan to practice occupational therapy after May 31. All registrants must either renew or surrender their licence before May 31.

Completing the renewal process requires time and attention. As a part of the renewal process, a registrant will complete the following steps in order:

1. Update your contact, professional, and employment information;
2. Enter your Continuing Competency Learning Activities for the current year and complete a learning reflection;
3. Complete a self-assessment form based on the Competencies for Occupational Therapists;
4. Create and enter new Learning Goals for the coming year;
5. Answer a series of declaration questions; and
6. Pay your registration fee(s).
