4. Pay the credential-specific amount shown.

Portal and account safety

• For Delaware, open public status checks through DELPROS; use DELPROS only for account or transaction work.
• The reviewed Delaware renewal timing is Two-year credential-specific schedule. LPN licenses expire February 28 of even years; RN dates are assigned in odd years. Confirm the individual record.
• Before payment, match the exact credential (RN, LPN, APRN) and compare the displayed charge with this source-reviewed summary: Renewal amount is shown in DELPROS; published application fee is $181 and reinstatement is $272.
• Use only reviewed authority domains (dpr.delaware.gov, delpros.delaware.gov); avoid search advertisements and look-alike renewal or verification pages.
• If the Delaware portal does not show the expected option, check credential type, current status and renewal window before creating a second account or paying again.
• For unresolved account or routing issues, contact Delaware Board of Nursing at (302) 744-4500 and keep the confirmation number, date and staff response.
• After any transaction, return to DELPROS and verify the public record; a receipt by itself is not practice authority.

Renewal requirements and cautions

• RN and LPN renewal dates are not identical.
• New or partial-cycle licensees can have prorated CE requirements.

CE or competence connection

For a full two-year period, RNs complete 30 CE hours and LPNs complete 24 CE hours.

• At least three hours related to substance abuse.
• At least one hour related to child abuse, exploitation, trafficking, domestic violence or reporting obligations.
• Meet practice-hour or refresher requirements described by the Board.

Common renewal problems

Fraud and privacy safety

• Begin every Delaware transaction from a reviewed authority domain (dpr.delaware.gov, delpros.delaware.gov) or a source-reviewed link on this guide.
• Do not give a caller payment-card details, a password or a one-time code merely because the caller claims to represent Delaware Board of Nursing.
• If threatened with immediate suspension or arrest, end the call and verify the issue through (302) 744-4500 or the secure Delaware account.
• Use DELPROS to confirm current status rather than a private lookup page or emailed screenshot.
• Upload identity, background, education or legal documents only through a secure method explicitly named by Delaware Board of Nursing.
• Before paying, verify the credential, transaction and amount against the current Delaware instructions; save the receipt and then verify the public record.
• For Delaware, report a suspected licensing impersonation or phishing attempt to the authority and the relevant consumer-protection or law-enforcement channel.
