A licensee whose renewal date has passed shall not practice until renewed; practicing on an expired license is a violation subject to administrative action up to and including revocation. A license lapsed for 2 years or less may be restored by application, documented CE, and the renewal fee. A license not renewed within 2 years of expiration requires reapplication as a new applicant.Verify with board
