CPNL’s annual renewal period for pharmacy licensing is now open. Please note:
The deadline to renew your CPNL registration is November 30, 2026.
Those who renew their pharmacy licence after this date will be charged a Late Licence Renewal Fee per the 2027 Schedule of Fees.
Before you renew your Pharmacy Licence
Pharmacists in charge must renew their personal registration through the Registrant Portal before renewing the pharmacy licence.
All documentation required to meet the CPNL’s new pharmacy owner information requirements must be submitted and approved.
Confirm the method of payment with the owner to ensure sufficient time is allotted to receive the payment from the owner and send it to CPNL before the renewal deadline.
Information you will need to renew the pharmacy licence:
Hours of Operation
Current list of additional pharmacy services provided by the pharmacy
Current list of dispensary personnel
Pharmacy ownership information, including updated contact information

Click Licence Applications & Renewal in the side menu.
Click the Start Renewal button next to your pharmacy licence.
Click the Save or Save & Continue button as you proceed to ensure your progress is saved and you can return to complete the renewal at another time, if necessary.

Renewal is not complete until payment has been received by CPNL.
Paying using your own or a corporate credit card at the time of renewal is the most efficient method of payment.
If this is not a viable option, the designated representative can contact CPNL to be set up to provide payment through electronic funds transfer. In this situation, ensure that you provide them with the invoice number to include with their payment.
Regardless of method, payment must be received by CPNL by November 30, 2026.
