2026 is an even-numbered year — the record-keeping requirement applies.
Under A.A.C. R4-7-801(M)(1), every actively licensed Arizona chiropractor must complete a minimum of 2 hours of continuing education in record keeping during each even-numbered calendar year. The 2 hours count within your 12 — they are not additional — but they must be completed before you submit a renewal that falls due in 2026. The Board suspends licenses for CE non-compliance, with a $200 reinstatement fee.
Arizona chiropractors must complete 12 hours of continuing education each renewal year, due by the last day of the licensee's birth month, including a minimum of 2 hours of record keeping in every even-numbered calendar year. Arizona sets no cap on online hours — the Board's rules draw no distinction between in-person and distance formats — and one CE hour equals 50 minutes of instruction. Certificates are uploaded with the renewal application and retained for five years against audit.
? Online courses are $20/hr — 10% off at 6–9 hours, 20% off at 10+ hours. Discounts apply automatically at checkout, no promo codes.
This page maps the requirements under A.R.S. § 32-931 and Arizona Administrative Code R4-7-801 and R4-7-802 to your renewal planning. Arizona pre-approves online CE at the course level: before enrolling in any online course — from any provider — verify its current AZCE approval code in the Board's Continuing Education Course Directory.

Hours are earned between your last renewal application and your current one, and documented on the renewal itself. Each course must offer clinical benefit to the consumer of chiropractic services — directly related to assessing, diagnosing, or treating patients within scope.
Since 2025, Arizona licenses expire on the last day of the licensee's birth month rather than a single statewide date. Your CE must be complete before you file that renewal — check your license for your own month rather than assuming a year-end deadline.
A minimum of 2 hours of CE in record keeping every even-numbered calendar year, per A.A.C. R4-7-801(M)(1). The hours count within your 12, not on top of them. 2026 is an even year.
Arizona sets no requirement for how hours split between in-person and online formats. All 12 hours may be completed online, provided each course meets the Board's subject rules and holds current approval where required. One CE hour equals 50 minutes of instruction.
Bundling discounts apply automatically at checkout when you combine multiple courses in a single order. No promo codes required.
Arizona maintains a pre-approved course directory, searchable by AZCE approval code, course name, hours, and instructor. Only a narrow set of courses is exempt from approval — certain in-person programs by accredited colleges (explicitly excluding sponsored and co-sponsored courses), in-person ACA/ICA programs, and in-person CPR by AHA/Red Cross. Online courses fall outside those exemptions, so verify a current AZCE approval before purchasing any online CE, from any provider.
Subject eligibility is governed by A.A.C. R4-7-801(D), (J), and (K), with disqualified subjects listed in R4-7-801(L). Board staff cannot advise or recommend courses — the licensee is responsible for confirming a course qualifies before attending.
Arizona is an upload state: you attach your current-year course certificates to the renewal application in the Licensure Portal, where hours can be logged as you earn them. Keep every certificate for 5 years from the renewal it supported — the Board may audit at any time in that window under R4-7-802, verifying each credit represented 50 minutes of qualifying instruction earned in the correct period.
Non-compliance is not a warning letter: the Board suspends licenses that fail to demonstrate CE compliance, and reinstatement requires an application and a $200 fee. CCEDseminars issues an instant certificate on completion with a permanent copy in your account dashboard, so renewal upload and audit response are a same-day pull.
12 hours per renewal year, completed between your last renewal application and your current one. Since 2025, Arizona licenses expire on the last day of the licensee's birth month, so the deadline is personal to you rather than a single statewide date. Certificates are uploaded with the renewal application.
Yes. Arizona sets no requirement for how hours divide between in-person and online formats, so all 12 may be completed by distance learning — provided each course meets the Board's subject rules and holds current approval where required. One CE hour equals 50 minutes of instruction.
Under A.A.C. R4-7-801(M)(1), every actively licensed Arizona chiropractor must complete at least 2 hours of continuing education in record keeping during each even-numbered calendar year. The 2 hours count within the 12-hour total, not in addition to it. 2026 is an even-numbered year, so the requirement applies to renewals falling due now.
Search the Board's Continuing Education Course Directory for a current AZCE approval code — by code, course name, hours, or instructor. Only limited in-person categories are exempt from approval; online courses are not among them, so confirm the specific course's approval before purchase regardless of provider. Board staff cannot approve or recommend courses on request.
The Board suspends licenses that fail to demonstrate compliance with A.R.S. § 32-931 and rules R4-7-801/802. Reinstatement requires an application and a $200 fee. The Board may also audit compliance at any time during the five years you're required to retain certificates, so keep complete records for every renewal.
