| Renewal cycle | Michigan RN and LPN renewal follows a two-year cycle. Use the expiration date in MiPLUS and renew through that account; the guide describes a separate 60-day late-renewal period before relicensure is required. [source] |
| Renewal fee | RN or LPN renewal: $131. RN renewal with specialty certification: $161.40. Renewal during the 60-day grace period adds a $20 late fee; relicensure is a separate process. [source] |
