The renewal window opens October 1, 2027, the fee is $60, and you must have your continuing education done first. Here is the whole process in one page. Last reviewed June 2026 by Tyler Dalton, PharmD. ## Renewal checklist 1. **Complete your CE.** Finish 6 hours of continuing education, including at least 2 live hours, before you renew. See the full breakdown on the [CE requirements page](/ce-requirements). 2. **Keep your certificates.** Save a PDF of each CE certificate. Alabama can audit your file, and the Licensure Gateway may ask you to upload proof. 3. **Renew between October 1 and December 31, 2027** through the ALBOP Licensure Gateway. The fee is $60. 4. **Confirm active status before January 1, 2028.** Log back into the Gateway after submitting and verify your registration shows active. Save a screenshot for your records. ## Timeline Date What to do Now through September 30, 2027 Knock out your 6 CE hours, including the 2 live hours. Do not save the live hours for last. October 1, 2027 Renewal window opens in the ALBOP Licensure Gateway. October 1 through December 31, 2027 Submit renewal, pay $60, upload CE if requested. December 31, 2027 Hard deadline. Registrations not renewed by this date lapse. January 1, 2028 Confirm your registration shows active before your next shift. ### If you miss it A lapsed registration means you must stop working as a pharmacy technician in Alabama until it is reinstated. Reinstatement costs the $60 renewal fee plus a $20 penalty per lapsed year on top of the $60. Employers are required to pull anyone whose registration is not active, so a missed deadline almost always means lost shifts. ### First renewal - **Registered in 2026:** 3 CE hours, with at least 1 live hour, before December 31, 2027. - **Registered in 2027:** No CE required for this cycle. Your full 6-hour requirement starts the next cycle. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### When does my Alabama pharmacy technician registration expire?
