Kentucky renewal questions
Can I renew my Kentucky card online?
Yes — Kentucky allows renewal evaluations by telehealth, even though initial certifications require an in-person visit. The video visit takes about 10–15 minutes.
When should I start my Kentucky renewal?
Most states open renewal windows 30–60 days before expiration; starting at the 60-day mark avoids every deadline problem. Card valid 1 year; renew at least 30 days early via kymedcan.ky.gov; $25 fee (waived in 2026 for 2025 cardholders).
What does renewing in Kentucky cost?
$169 for the renewal evaluation (if you don't qualify, you don't pay), plus the state's fee of $25. Your renewed credential is valid for 1 year.
What happens if my Kentucky card lapses?
You lose legal protection and purchase access immediately, and in most cases must restart the full application — including a new in-person initial evaluation. Renewing inside the window is always cheaper and faster than re-applying.
