New York CPA License Renewal Deadline by Birth Month

New York CPA license renewal

Mandatory triennial registration (distinct from the license itself) expires in the month prior to the licensee's own birth month, 2-3 years after first registration.

This one can't be looked up from your birth month alone. Unlike California/Texas, this expiration date depends on the individual's own first-registration date, not birth month alone -- a personal fact we don't have. Confirm your registration renewal date with NYSED or on your registration certificate.

To find your exact triennial registration due date, check your registration certificate or look yourself up at NYSED Office of the Professions.

N.Y. Educ. Law 6502(1)-(3) (life license; mandatory registration; triennial registration period); birth-month alignment per 8 NYCRR 59.8
