How to renew your RN license in Utah

Submit the renewal application and pay the current fee online.
Keep proof of CE and your renewal confirmation for your records.

Good to know: Renewal is via DOPL's MyLicenseOne portal. Reinstatement is $20 if expired ≤30 days, $50 if 31 days–2 years; over 2 years requires reapplication. The base renewal fee could not be confirmed on a cleanly retrievable official fee schedule, so it is left null.
