RENEWAL NOTICE

Please note that due to the large number of Pharmacies seeking renewal and the need to complete the required review, the issuance of the renewed license/registration is taking longer than expected.

Applicants who submit the renewal application on or before the expiration date of the Pharmacy license/registration (May 31, 2025) are permitted to continue doing business and/or shipping medications into the District while their application is pending. Currently, DC Health is processing renewal applications from a number of pharmacies who applied timely for the renewal of their licenses. It is possible that these reviews will continue after the expiration date of May 31, 2025.

For Pharmacies who have applied for their renewal on or prior to the May 31, 2025, deadline and require further review, their status will be “Renewal in process – review pending”.

For those who apply after the deadline and require further review, their status will be “Expired - renewal eligible". Pharmacies with this status must wait until their license is renewed to resume doing business or shipping medications into the District.

The pharmacy renewal period is now open. All renewing pharmacies must first register in the new Facilities Licensing Portal before logging in to renew their license.

Important Steps:

1. Register your facility before accessing the renewal portal: Facilities Registration Portal.

2. Once registered, log in to renew your pharmacy license: Facility Licensing Portal.

Important Information:

• For individuals who hold a health professional license, the facility license email cannot be linked to the same email address used for the pharmacy.

• Disclaimer: This portal is for pharmacies only. Individuals renewing their health professional license must visit: Health Professional License Renewal Portal.

For assistance, please contact [email protected] or refer to the portal for further guidance.
