New Hampshire CPA License Reinstatement: What a Lapsed License Costs

If your New Hampshire CPA license has already lapsed

Verified 2026-11-13
Reinstatement Fee
$201

$201 per N.H. Code Admin. R. Plc 1002.01, Table 1002.1 -- the SAME figure as a normal on-time renewal fee; the rule does not impose a separate, higher fee for reinstating a license lapsed 1 year or less. If lapsed more than 1 year, the licensee must reapply as a brand-new initial applicant (same $201 fee, but the full initial-licensure process).

Catch-Up CPE Required
  • No extra or prorated catch-up CPE hours are required to reinstate a license lapsed 1 year or less for non-renewal (Ac 401.08) -- only the standard renewal application package and a work-history resume covering the lapse period. (A different, separate path -- returning to active practice from voluntary inactive status -- does require 80 hours of CPE including 4 ethics hours regardless of duration; that is not the same as reinstating a lapsed license.)
Source of record N.H. Code Admin. R. Ac 401.08 (Reinstatement of a License Lapsed for Non-Renewal); Ac 401.01, 401.03, 403.01; fee at Plc 1002.01, Table 1002.1 read the rule →

What triggers lapsed status: A certificate expires 2 years from the day it was issued. If not renewed by that date, it becomes 'Lapsed for Non-Renewal.' Reinstatement (Ac 401.08) is available only for licenses lapsed no more than 1 year; beyond that, the holder must reapply as a brand-new initial applicant.

Last verified: November 13, 2026 · checked against the state's codified statute or administrative rule, not just a board webpage — if we can't verify a date against primary law, we say so instead of guessing (see how we verify every deadline). Always confirm with the official state board before relying on this date. License requirements and deadlines can change.
