- Provide proof of professional liability insurance

Key Dates
The NLCHP registration year is April 01-March 31.
The CEE reporting year is January 01-December 31, the year prior to registration renewal.
Administrative deadline for registration renewal: February 28. After this date, registration may be subject to late fees and may delay licensure renewal making you ineligible to work.
Proof of professional liability insurance (PLI) renews at various times in the year depending on the provider you have chosen. It is your responsibility to ensure a current certificate is on file with NLCHP at time of renewal. Each year when you purchase your PLI, you must add your new certificate to the online portal.
