When do all licenses or permits issued by the Board expire each year?

All licenses or permits issued by the Board in Oklahoma expire on December 31st each year. This is a standard date aligned with many professional licensing boards, allowing for a clear annual cycle of renewals. By setting an expiration date at the end of the calendar year, the Board ensures that all professionals have a set timeline to maintain their licensure, which typically involves fulfilling continuing education requirements or other obligations necessary for renewal. This structure helps in maintaining the standards and competencies required of dental hygienists and other healthcare professionals in the state.
