The registration fee scales with the period length — see the summary table above for current amounts. According to NYSDOH, renewal applications are mailed approximately 60 days before your registration expiration date.

Practical Notes for New York RT Registration Renewal

From the field: These notes reflect practical considerations for working RTs renewing a New York registration.
  • Your registration expires on your birthday — not a fixed date. New York registration expires on your birth date. Know your specific expiration date and track it independently from your license certificate.
  • The registration cycle can be up to 4 years — but verify yours. Registration periods vary. Check your current registration certificate for the exact expiration date and period length rather than assuming a standard 2-year cycle.
  • ARRT credential verification replaces CE documentation. If your ARRT certification is current, downloading your Verify Credentials record from the ARRT website and attaching it to your renewal satisfies New York’s CE requirement. ARRT no longer issues paper cards — use the online directory.
  • Don’t rely solely on the mailed renewal application. NYSDOH mails renewal applications approximately 60 days before expiration, but if your address is not current with the bureau, you may not receive it. Your expiration date does not change. Contact NYSDOH if you have not received your application closer to your expiration date.
  • Unregistered technologists cannot practice. New York law prohibits practice without active registration. If your registration lapses, you must renew before returning to clinical practice — the 30-day provisional window applies only to new licensees, not renewal situations.
  • Travel RTs: CE scaling with registration length creates planning complexity. A 4-year New York registration requires 48 CE credits total. If you hold New York as one of several active state licenses, plan your CE strategy to ensure New York’s scaled requirement is met alongside other states’ requirements.
