Dietitian License Renewal: Who Qualifies and What You Get

This scheme allows licensed dietitians in South Korea to maintain their professional standing and legal right to practice.

👤Who it's for

This process is mandatory for all individuals who hold a professional license to practice as a dietitian within South Korea. Whether you are working in a hospital setting, a large-scale food service facility, or another healthcare environment, you must participate in this renewal process to remain legally compliant in your professional role.

🎁What you get

The primary benefit is continued legal authorization to practice your profession. By successfully completing the renewal requirements, you ensure that your professional standing remains active, allowing you to continue your career without interruption in any facility that requires a valid, up-to-date dietitian license.

💰What it costs you

Maintaining your license requires a commitment of time rather than a simple monetary fee. Specifically, you must complete eight hours of mandatory continuing education every single year. This requirement ensures that your professional knowledge and skills remain current and meet the necessary standards for public health and food safety within the country.

⚠️The catch to know

The most important detail to remember is the reporting requirement. It is not enough to simply attend the education sessions; you must officially report your continuing education to the relevant authorities. If you fail to report these hours, you risk having your license suspended.

📝How to apply

1. Complete the mandatory eight hours of continuing education sessions required for your current year.
2. Ensure you have documentation of your completed hours to satisfy the reporting requirements.
3. Log in to the official government portal to report your education and update your status.
4. Verify your renewal status through the official portal: https://lic.mohw.go.kr
