Reactivating an Inactive License

CONTINUING EDUCATION

In order to reactivate an inactive license, 36 hours of qualifying continuing education, including at least four hours of instruction on the subject of laws and ethics as well as any other mandatory courses, are required. These hours of coursework must have been completed no more than 24 months prior to the date of reactivation.

REACTIVATION FEE

If the reactivation occurs at the regularly scheduled renewal date, the licensee merely needs to check the "Active" box on the renewal form and submit the form with the active renewal fee of $410.

If the reactivation occurs prior to the regularly scheduled renewal date, the fee for reactivation will be $16.67 for each month or partial month remaining in the renewal cycle. For example, if an inactive license is scheduled to expire on December 31, 2005, and the licensee decides to reactivate the license on January 20, 2005, the fee for reactivation would be $200.04 ($16.67 X 12 months for 11 full months and one partial month).
