We look forward to hearing from you soon.
Our records indicate that your license may have expired and may require immediate renewal through the Localgov online platform to remain compliant with the Commonwealth of Northern Mariana Islands Board of Professional Licensing (BPL).
Important Update:
Effective May 22, 2025, the CNMI Board of Professional Licensing partnered with Localgov as the official online platform for processing all professional & health care licenses.
If you already renewed your license prior to May 22, 2025, or recently renewed directly with BPL, you only need to create a new account on Localgov. Once your account is established and BPL verifies your license is current, your records will be updated automatically.
If your license is expired, you must renew immediately through Localgov to avoid penalties or risk to your license.

The Board of Professional Licensing (BPL) and the Health Care Professions Licensing Board (HCPLB) are independent regulatory agencies on the CNMI Government administered under the Executive Branch. Each board was established by law giving them the power and authority to license and regulate 14 disciplines under BPL and 32 professions under HCPLB. Both Boards are tasked to protect the public of the Northern Mariana Islands by enforcing regulations that restrict professional practice to individuals who have demonstrated competency by having specific credentials in educations, examinations, and practical experiences.
