Alternatives & exemptions. APRN renewal requires a current Idaho RN license or privilege, evidence of current APRN national certification by a Board-recognized organization, and participation in a peer review process acceptable to the Board. No contact-hour requirement in the rules.

Good to know. Renewal every two years; application and fee due by August 31 of the renewal year (licenses lapse Sept 1). DOPL began moving licenses to birthday-based 2-year terms in 2026, so dates may change. Official site is geo-blocked; rules PDF read from a copy fetched from the official URL.
