A license expired for less than two renewal cycles may be renewed with a late fee ($57 one-time); after two cycles the license is lapsed and must be reactivated (payment of one or two renewal fees plus late fee and CE). Practicing with an expired, suspended, or revoked license may trigger a civil administrative penalty under M.G.L. c.112 §65(b) and board discipline.Verify with board
