What if I don't renew?

Failure to submit a completed renewal by the deadline will result in your license being suspended. This means that you’re no longer legally able to practice as a Dispensing Optician, Contact Lens Fitter or provide any restricted activities such as sight testing. 
 
Members of the public can ensure a Licensed Optician is properly registered with the COBC by using our online registry or by asking to see a registration certificate which should be displayed in a prominent location at the workplace.

For information from the Registrar on the importance of maintaining your license, please click here for our Blog page, and read "Why You Should Renew Your Valued License".
 
When do I get my receipt?
