Paper license?

Published

Just filled out my renewal online for Pa. Now is that it or do I still get a paper license in the mail? A lot of states have done away with paper license but I don't know if Pa has or not.

I had to request one when I changed my name, so I'm assuming not. I had to pay for the new copy. In fact, I don't think I got a paper one at my last renewal, either.

That is interesting that you didn't get one last time because I did. I have it right in front of me. Perhaps I got paper because I renewed via mail last time. This is first time I renewed via internet. I thought perhaps something would be different once I started renewing via internet. Thus this post.

As far as I know we're still getting paper licenses. My employer I just got hired with asked me for mine. If we weren't getting them, why would they still ask for them?

I renewed via internet and they mailed me a paper license.

Yeah, I've figured out I'm an idiot who loses things. You'll have that.

How do you renew online?

Sorry if this is stupid, but I've been all over the website and I could only find the downloaded form part. I searched for somethng online and can't find it.

Also, this is my 1st renewal so I don't need the CEU's but the form asks "yes or no" if they're done...if I'm checking the no box, is there a way to add a comment that I don't need them, or will they figure that out? I've emailed them and not gotten a response, thanks for any help.

Kitty, I am PMing you the email address of a VERY helpful person at the PA BON. I have to go ferret it out of my InBox. :)

This is the web address for online renewals. It will ask for your registration code, or something similar. It's located on the front of your wallet card, but not on the big paper license.
