Late fees are now applicable.  Consult the Individual late fee chart link at the upper left for details. CPAs and PAs who obtian the Ohio permit must submit documentation of 120 acceptable continuing education credits with the license renewal check.

Acceptable documentation includes certificates of completion, transcripts ( if several courses are taken from the same continuing education sponsor), and other documentation that verifies the date, time, location (if applicable), and content of the program and the fact the course was completed successfully.

You may use the continuing education form to summarize your credit.
