The Division of Radiation Control (DRC) will move five new licenses to the Bureau of Climate and Environmental Health’s (BCEH) new online licensing system in September. The online licensing system improves users’ application experience and reduces processing times.

The licenses transitioning on September 9, 2025, at 12:00 PM include:

  1. Registration of Services
  2. Laser Registration
  3. Temporary Laser Registration
  4. Generally Licensed Devices Registration
  5. Tritium Device Registration

First-time applicants can easily apply for a new license. First, they should log in to create a new account in the eLicensing system. Then, they can click Apply for a New License from the home page and select the desired license type. No PIN codes are needed.

Users need PIN codes for first-time renewals

License holders set to renew in 2025 will get letters and emails from DRC. These messages will explain the next steps. Renewal notices from DRC will have a unique pin code. Licensees will use this code during account setup. It links their existing license to their new eLicensing account. Returning license holders should keep their PIN code notifications until they log in for the first time.

If you’re new to the Environmental Health eLicensing Portal, check the BCEH eLicensing System User Guide for help getting started.

The Division of Radiation Control (DRC) will switch to an e-licensing system for all licenses by the end of 2025. The remaining DRC licenses that have not been transferred to the eLicensing system will continue to require users to submit applications and receive mailed permits using the current process, pending further updates from DRC.
