*Attention physicians/osteopathic physicians & surgeons:

If you were issued your medical license via the IMLC pathway, you must renew your license directly through their website: www.imlcc.org.​ PLEASE NOTE: After renewing your license through IMLC you MUST submit this “Supplemental Renewal Notice" form​ to the Nebraska DHHS on or before 10/01/2022 to avoid expiration of your Nebraska license. 

Please Note

We no longer provide a wallet card license. If you wish to print a wallet-size card, please go to dhhs.ne.gov/lookup. When your name comes up in the search results, click it. On the next page, click the green button that says Generate Wallet Card.

More information:
  • For issues with renewal fee payments, please call (402) 471-2115 or email DHHS.LicensureSupport@nebraska.gov.
  • Licensees can place their licenses on inactive status at no charge, either online or by paper renewal form, prior to the license expiration date. Being on inactive status means that the licensee cannot perform licensed activity until the license is reinstated.
  • If you missed your renewal deadline, your license has expired. You cannot practice until it is reissued or reinstated. Licensees who practice after the expiration of their licenses will owe DHHS an administrative penalty of $10 per day up to $1,000. Other disciplinary action may be taken specific to your license type.

    To reapply or request reinstatement of your license, go to the Professions and Occupations page, click on your license type, click on Applications, and complete the Application for License or Application for Reinstatement. Please note that we cannot provide same-day processing. Submit the form, any additional documentation required, and a check or money order for the fee to the Licensure Unit.
