Renewal checklist

  1. Check Hawaii SBS/License Manager and NIPR renewal dates before buying courses.
  2. Match courses to the correct single-class or both-class split, including 3 Rules/Ethics credits.
  3. Finish CE at least 15 days before the due date so provider reporting can reach Hawaii in time.
  4. Verify the SBS/License Manager transcript before renewing through NIPR.
  5. Keep certificates for 4 years.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Relying only on completion date and ignoring the 15-day provider reporting window.
  • Applying excess credits to the next cycle.
  • Taking only one class category after adding another line of authority.
  • Sending certificates directly when Hawaii expects provider submission unless requested.
