CPA License Renewal Time Is Approaching

Those looking to renew their active New Jersey CPA license as part of the three-year triennial, which began January 1, 2021, are reminded that they must complete any of their remaining continuing professional education (CPE) credits by Dec. 31.

As per the New Jersey State Board of Accountancy, any credits taken between Jan.1, 2021, and June 30, 2021, as part of the pandemic extension for the 2018-2020 cycle are not allowed to be included in this triennial. The Board has specifically stated that there is “no double-dipping” of credits by counting them both for the 2018-2020 and 2021-2023 cycles. A minimum of 20 credits per year is required, and a total of 120 CPE credits is needed for the three-year period.

Licensees who have had an address change in the past three years should submit the change at newjersey.mylicense.com/eGov/Login.aspx by Sept. 30. Renewal notices will be mailed to licensees’ current address of record 60 days prior to the Dec. 31 renewal deadline. One cannot renew their license until they receive the notice.

Those who need to earn additional CPE credits can search the NJCPA’s upcoming events and on-demand learning at njcpa.org/events. NJCPA members can use the CPE Tracker (njcpa.org/tracker) to record all CPE earned through the NJCPA and elsewhere.
