Step-by-Step Registration Renewal Manual

2025 Online Registration Renewal Open
Your Practice Permit Expires December 31, 2024

It is illegal and an offence under the Health Professions Act to work or volunteer in your profession in 2025 until you have a practice permit and can verify your registration status on the ACSLPA website (see Verify Registration). Working without a valid practice permit constitutes unprofessional conduct and may subject an individual to disciplinary action, fine or injunction.

You will need the following to complete your renewal:

  • Member Login information
    • Your User ID is the email address on file with ACSLPA (Best to use a personal email address);
    • Your password.
  • Current qualification hours worked from January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2024 (you will need to predict the hours you will work until the end of the year).
  • Professional Liability Insurance (PLI) information. Enter this information into the online system. We do NOT require a copy of your PLI to be submitted. For further information on PLI requirements, click here.
  • 2025 Continuing Competence Program
    • Information on 2 continuing education activities you participated in.
    • Have a peer conversation in mind for completing your Peer Dialogue Reflection.
    • You will not be required to reflect on an old competence goal, set a new goal, or complete any external feedback requirements.
  • System Security – For your protection, the system will log you out after 20 minutes of inactivity and you will need to login again. Remember to save frequently.

Please be patient: the system can be a little slow at times.
Use the ‘Save for later’ at the bottom of the screen to return later to proceed with the renewal.
