Source read on November 12, 2026: Arizona Revised Statutes section 36-1904, Issuance of license; renewal of license; continuing education; military members on the Arizona Legislature site. Speech-language pathologists in Arizona are licensed by the Arizona Department of Health Services. The section covers every license in its chapter; this page covers the speech-language pathology license only. The department’s own rules and web pages were not read for this page.
Cycle
“A regular license is valid for two years.” And: “A licensee shall renew a regular license every two years”. The section also sets a thirty-day grace period after a regular license expires (paraphrased).
Course standards
“The director by rule shall provide standards for continuing education courses required by this section.” Courses developed by professional organizations of speech-language pathologists, and used by those associations for their own continuing education requirements, “are deemed to comply with department standards.”
Lapsed licenses
A person who does not renew applies for a new license. On reapplying, the person shows proof of the continuing education hours “within the previous twenty-four months before the date of reapplication.” If the application arrives within one year after the license expired, no examination is required (paraphrased).
Military members
Licenses of Arizona national guard and United States armed forces members can be extended while they serve on federal active duty and for one hundred eighty days afterward, when the member or a legal representative notifies the director (paraphrased).
What this page does not do
It covers the speech-language pathologist license only, and only what the official page or pages named above say. It does not list fees, does not cover school credentials issued by a state education agency, and does not replace the board’s own instructions. Rules change; check the board before you renew.
