New Jersey CPA License Renewal Deadline

New Jersey CPA license renewal

Individual CPA License
Date not confirmed
Next renewal date
Not confirmedTriennial (3-year) renewal cycle. The Board's own FAQ confirms the triennial structure, that renewal notices are mailed about 60 days before the expiration date printed on the license, and that CPE (120 hours per triennial period, minimum 20/year) is tracked over the same period. The Board's page does not itself publish the specific current-cycle end date.
Not independently verified
NJ renews on a fixed triennial cycle ending December 31, but the specific current-cycle end date is not published at the state-board level. Confirm your exact expiration on your license certificate or with the New Jersey State Board of Accountancy. (2026-07-17 update: read the full codified text of N.J.A.C. 13:29-1.7 directly -- deliberately generic, "three years from the last expiration date," no calendar year anywhere in the rule text. Found and read the actual NJ Register rule-adoption notice (57 N.J.R. 55(a)) -- a genuine official regulatory-register citation, but it's the chapter's routine 7-year sunset readoption, not a document fixing the current triennial cohort's dates. N.J.S.A. 45:1-7's stagger-provision doesn't apply (accountancy runs on its own separate Title 45:2B authority). Live license-verification portal attempted but not executable by current tooling. Two independent secondary sources (njcpa.org, NASBA's CPE registry) now converge on "Jan 1, 2024-Dec 31, 2026," which matches the believed pattern and raises confidence -- but per this file's own fabrication-avoidance rule, secondary-source agreement alone does not upgrade this to a shippable citation.)
CPA Firm Registration/Permit
Date not confirmed
Next renewal date
Not confirmedNJ registers accounting firms separately from individuals; firm registration is also triennial, but whether the firm cycle is synchronized to the same Jan 1-Dec 31 calendar as individual licenses, or runs on a separate schedule, is not stated on any official New Jersey Board page we could find.
Not independently verified
We could not confirm a specific firm renewal date from an official New Jersey source. Confirm your firm's exact renewal date with the New Jersey State Board of Accountancy or on your registration.

Always confirm with the official state board before relying on this date. License requirements and deadlines can change.
