Practicing on an expired ARNP license can lead to discipline under the Uniform Disciplinary Act (ch. 18.130 RCW); sanctions include revocation, suspension, restriction, and a fine of up to $5,000 per violation (RCW 18.130.160). ARNP reactivation more than two years past expiration requires an application and fee, current national certification, and 30 hours of general CE within the past two years (per nursing.wa.gov ARNP reactivation guidance).Verify with board

How compliance is checked

The Nursing Commission requires a written declaration of compliance at renewal; proof of continuing-competency documentation is submitted only if the licensee is selected for audit (per commission guidance, nursing.wa.gov).
