12/15/2020: We are launching a new online application system on January 25, 2021. This new system will allow you to renew or apply for a new clinical and public health laboratory license online. You will also be able to pay online, print your license certificate, and check the status of your application in your account. Find instructions on how to use this new system on our Facilities Help page.
10/07/2019: Effective October 7, 2019, LFS will no longer mail license certificates. We will be introducing a new online licensing system for clinical and public health laboratories. For applications approved in our new system, we will email the license certificates in a PDF format, which can be downloaded and printed as many times as you need.
Note: This does not apply to Tissue Bank, Cytology, and Biologics (Blood) Bank programs.
10/07/2019: We have also revised our Annual Renewal Notice (LAB 101) to a 2-page notice with instructions. Click the image on the left to view the notice.
