The Florida Department of Business Professional Regulation (DBPR) is the government entity within the state that deals with professional licensure. This article will discuss the steps required to activate a professional license within the state of Florida. It applies to licensees who are "voluntarily inactive" and wish to change their status to "active."
Visit DBPR's website at www.myfloridalicense.com
The website offers information on all aspects of a licensee's status of licensure.
On the home page, click on the "Renew/Maintain a license" link. The page directs users to two paths. If you have an online account, choose Path 1. If you don't, choose Path 2 to create an online account.
To create a new account or to log into an existing account, you will need to know the license division, the license profession and the license number.
Once you have created an account with DBPR online, the site will verify if you need to complete additional coursework. If you have completed the required coursework, the site will give the user an option to reactivate the license. Depending on the profession, a reactivation fee may be applied in addition to the required fees set by the state.
Once you have completed any necessary coursework and paid the online fee, you will be mailed your newly activated license.
