Renewal checklist

- Include 3 ethics credits and any line-specific credit allocation.
- Watch the company-course cap if your employer supplies CE.
- Verify the Sircon transcript before filing renewal.
- Do not assume the 16-credit rule applies when you hold multiple license types.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Using the one-license 16-credit rule for a multi-line license set.
- Missing line allocation requirements even when total credits look complete.
- Relying only on employer courses without checking Virginia credit caps.
