The license period is for two years based upon the renewal cycle of the license. LPN renewal is every ODD numbered year and RN renewal is every EVEN numbered year. Thus, a license issued prior to August 31 will expire December 31 of that same year if it is a renewal year for that license type. For example, an RN license issued 08/31/2017 will expire 12/31/2018; whereas an LPN license issued 08/31/2017 will not expire until 12/31/2017. (Renewal begins September 1 each year.)
