Online License Renewals

Maine Physicians Can Now Renew Their Licenses Online

The Maine Board of Licensure in Medicine has partnered with InforME, the state's eGovernment provider, to provide a new service that allows Maine physicians to renew their licenses online. The user-friendly service is designed to allow physicians to quickly and easily renew their professional licenses 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Click here to access the service.

Physicians will no longer receive paper applications for renewal of their MD license. Instead, licensees will be receiving a postcard notifying them that their license is due to expire. The postcard will provide the address for the online renewal as well as instruction for obtaining a paper copy if necessary.

To use the online system, physicians must hold an active or inactive Maine license. Physicians who meet these criteria can renew their license, change the status of their license from active to inactive, and update their address. Payment with a Visa or MasterCard may be made through Maine.gov's secure payment processor.

Physicians are required to renew bi-annually, and may do so within one month of renewal date. For more information regarding the Maine Board of Licensure in Medicine, click here.
