It's PAST Time to Renew your Florida License, the Deadline was December 31, 2012.

The two year licensing biennium for Florida Licensed Opticians ends December 31, 2012. The good news is the licensing fee for renewing the next period has been reduced by $25, down to $125 plus the_$5 unlicensed activity fee, for a total of $130, if you had paid by the deadline. Since the first of the year you will need to add an additional $150 to the fee for current total due of $280 for missing the deadline.

You can still go to www.FLHealthSource.com to renew your licence online or to printout the required form that can be mailed in with your payment. The Florida Department of Health only sends a post card to all licensees as a renewal notice. The post card notices where mailed out all opticians in early October their last address of record with the Board office.
