Where our numbers come from

One figure, one citation

Every continuing-education hour total and renewal-cycle length in RenewBird is verified against a primary source — the state licensing board itself wherever the board publishes the figure clearly, and, where a board’s own pages are ambiguous or scattered, a reputable secondary reference that we link so you can see exactly what was checked. Either way, each requirement row carries the board’s name, a link to the board itself, a link to the specific page the figure was verified against, and the date it was checked — so you can judge the source yourself, never take our word for it.

As of today we have verified 211 profession/state combinations across 10 professions, and we’re adding more every week. Coverage for any single profession is shown on its requirements page, alongside every cited source.

When there isn’t a single number, we say so

Some boards don’t publish continuing education as one clean figure — the requirement might depend on your license tier, be phased in over multiple cycles, or simply not be published in a way a single number can represent responsibly. In every one of those cases, RenewBird shows “Varies — verify with your state board” and links straight to the board, rather than inventing a number that looks authoritative but isn’t. We would rather show an honest gap than a confident guess.

Rules change — confirm before you rely on it

Licensing boards update requirements, sometimes with little notice. Every requirement page shows the date it was last checked so you can judge its freshness, and links directly to the board so you can confirm before a renewal deadline. RenewBird is an organizational tool, not a substitute for your board’s own published rules.

How to report a correction

If you find a figure that’s out of date or doesn’t match your board’s current rules, email hello [at] renewbird [dot] com with a link to the board page showing the current requirement. We re-verify and update the source citation and the “checked on” date — correction reports are usually the fastest way we catch a board’s mid-cycle rule change.
