When do licenses expire in California?

In California, licenses typically expire on December 31st of each year. This aligns with the state's licensing practices, which standardize expiration dates to a single point within the calendar year, making it easier for licensees to remember and manage their renewal timelines. An expiration date of December 31st means that all licenses need to be renewed by the end of the year to maintain good standing and avoid penalties or lapses in licensure.
