How to Renew Registration

Every two years, the Data Bank administrator is required to renew their organization's NPDB registration. Renewing the registration on time ensures that all user accounts have continual access to the NPDB and can continue to submit queries and reports.

Administrators for State Licensing and Certification Authorities also verify the professions they regulate and attest to their reporting compliance as part of their registration renewal process.

To Renew your Registration

Your Data Bank administrator must complete the following steps:

1. Sign into the NPDB.
2. On the Entity Registration Confirmation page select Renew Registration.
Exit
Entity Registration Confirmation

3. Verify and/or update the information as required, which may include:
   • Eligibility/statutory authority
   • Entity's existing NPDB users
   • The entity's identification information
   Exit
   Entity Registration
   
   • Statutory authority selections
   • The entity's primary and additional functions
   Exit
   Entity Registration
   
   • The query preference for the entity
   • The Point of Contact for Reports and the Certifying Official
4. On the last page, select Submit to the Data Bank.
5. If the Certifying Official changed from the initial registration or last renewal, upload the registration document(s) as required.
6. Administrators for State Licensing and Certification Authorities must complete an attestation process after registration renewal to verify the professions they regulate and attest to their reporting compliance under federal law.
