New Hampshire CPA License Renewal Deadline

New Hampshire CPA license renewal

Biennial, but not a fixed calendar date for everyone: each license (CPA certificate, PA registration, or firm permit) expires exactly 2 years from that specific license's own issuance or last-renewal date (RSA 310:8, II; RSA 309-B:7, II), following a 2024 legislative rewrite that replaced New Hampshire's older fixed-calendar scheme.
