It is illegal to practice on an expired license and can result in sanctions including fines and public reprimands. A 3-month late-renewal period follows expiration (per Rule 360-2-.05, rules.sos.ga.gov/GAC/360-2); a license not renewed by then is administratively revoked and can only be restored by application.Verify with board

How compliance is checked

The Board audits a percentage of renewals for CME compliance; licensees must retain CME records for five years (Georgia Composite Medical Board physician licensure page).
