Step Two:
The PALS system will start to build your renewal application, pre-loading your personal
information.
Scroll down the page until you come to the area that states 'PLEASE ANSWER THE FOLLOWING
QUESTIONS'
For the question concerning your Establishment, type the Establishment’s License number
where you are employed.
(License numbers have NO spaces or dashes and may contain a letter at the end. Check with
your employer for the correct license number).
Answer the Continuing Education questions. (Read the questions thoroughly as there will be
separate questions regarding the Child Abuse course and remaining continuing education
certificates obtained).
If you took a 2-hour Child Abuse Course, you will need to upload the remaining 4 continuing
education credit certificate(s). If you took a 3-hour Child Abuse Course, you will need to upload
the remaining 3 continuing education credit certificate(s).
If you received your initial license AFTER 2/02/2020, you will be exempt from the continuing
education requirement, but you will still have to renew your license. When the PALS system
asks if you have completed the required 6 hours of continuing education, you will answer
NO. The PALS system will then ask if you were initially licensed from 2/02/2020 to 2/1/2022,
and you will answer YES. (The system will automatically cross reference your answer with the
initial date of your license).
Answer the Legal questions.
If you answer YES to any Legal questions, you will be required to upload copies of any court
documents pertaining to your YES answer.
