📢 Reminder: License renewals are not automatic once you hit submit.

Our team reviews and processes an average of 1,700 license renewals each week in the order they're received. It can take up to 4 weeks for your renewed license to be approved and available to print.

To avoid delays, double-check your renewal submission in the portal to confirm all of your tasks are "Under Review" or "Completed."

💡Tip: Skip the last-minute stress by submitting your renewal up to 60 days before your license expires!

Knock, knock! 🚪 Standard inspection incoming... but when?

The short answer: Anytime during your regular business hours.

According to Arizona law (A.R.S. 32-542), state investigators have the right to inspect your entire facility while you're open for business.
