WELCOME TO HiHiP's LMT RENEWAL HELPLINE!
This is a short guide on how to renew your DOH Massage Therapist License.

YOUR MASSAGE THERAPIST LICENSE is valid from the date of last issuance until your birth month three years later. That means that your license expires and you should apply for renewal on your birth month every three years. The expiration date is indicated on your Certificate of Registration and your ID Card.

WHERE SHOULD YOU APPLY FOR RENEWAL OF LICENSE? File your renewal application at the DOH Regional Office nearest you. Look for the Regional Licensing and Enforcement Division (RLED). The DOH Regional Director is the authenticating officer for license renewal.

WHAT ARE THE REQUIREMENTS FOR RENEWAL OF LICENSE? The requirements are checklisted in the COVER SHEET provided by the RLED. You can download the cover sheet, print it on A4, and place it as the topmost page of your supporting documents. There are eleven (11) supporting documents you need to submit to the RLED.

CONTINUING MASSAGE THERAPY EDUCATION SEMINARS

REGULATED PROFESSIONALS are mandated by law to undergo continuing education. For Licensed Massage Therapists, a minimum of 30 credit units is required for license renewal every three years. According to the Code on Sanitation of the Philippines (PD No. 856), massage practitioners are regulated by the Department of Health, which operates through its Committee of Examiners for Massage Therapy (CEMT).

WHAT SEMINARS CAN I ENROLL IN? You are free to enroll in any seminar that is approved by the CEMT's Continuing Massage Therapy Education Council (CMTEC). If you attend seminars in the PALMT National Convention, you can also gain 30 credit units. HiHiP offers a two part course that is valid for license renewal.
