6. Complete Background Check (if applicable)


If your license was issued between July 1, 2012 and June 30, 2013, you will be prompted to answer additional questions to request processing card and remit Background Check Processing Fee of $50 through the payment window. The Board will mail you detailed instructions along with a customized card for you to submit to Mississippi Criminal Information Center. (MCIC) This fee is paid at the same time the renewal fee is remitted.  Renewal will be processed when all other steps are complete; however, if your background check is not received in the Board office by September 30, 2019,  your license status will revert to Lapsed, and you will not be licensed to practice in Mississippi.

Click Continue to be taken to the shopping cart. Check the licensee renewal amount and then click Next to continue to the online payment system. The Biennial License Renewal Fee is $220, the Biennial LPC-S / Board Qualified Supervisor Renewal Fee is $50.
