The landscape architect license renewal period is two years. Your expiration date is your birthday. The department will send a courtesy renewal to your most recent address on file approximately eight weeks before the license expiration date. The renewal notice will show the due date, the amount of renewal fee, the penalty fee for late payment, professional development notice and other mailing instructions. You must notify the board in writing of any address changes.

You are responsible for renewing your license regardless of receiving a renewal notice from the department. If you fail to renew your license, your license is delinquent and you are prohibited from offering and/or providing professional landscape architect services until your license is reinstated.

1. (1) If your license has been delinquent less than five years, send to the department:

   1. (a) A letter requesting reinstatement;
   2. (b) Payment from the previous renewal cycle, the current renewal fee, and the late penalty fee;
   3. (c) Evidence of completion of twenty-four PDHs. See WAC 308-13-185 regarding qualifying activities.

2. (2) If your license has been delinquent five or more years, send to the department:

   1. (a) A letter requesting reinstatement;
   2. (b) Payment from the previous renewal cycle, the current renewal fee, and the late penalty fee;
   3. (c) Evidence of completion of twenty-four PDHs. See WAC 308-13-185 regarding qualifying activities;
   4. (d) A resume of landscape architectural activities and projects showing you have been working in another jurisdiction since the date of your license expiration;
   5. (e) A detailed explanation of the circumstances surrounding the failure to maintain current licensure;

   6. (f) A review of laws related to the practice of landscape architecture as outlined in WAC 308-13-031.

      If your license has been delinquent five or more years, the board will review all of your reinstatement materials. They may request additional information if necessary.
