A license not renewed by the expiration date automatically expires, and the holder is prohibited from practicing public accounting or holding out as a CPA until reinstatement. A license expired less than one month may be renewed with a late penalty fee of up to $100; a license expired longer than one month requires formal reinstatement (KRS 325.330).Verify with board
