What is the required action for a license that is still valid but needs renewal?

The required action for a license that is still valid but needs renewal is to pay the renewal fee. Licenses typically have a designated period of validity, after which they must be renewed to continue being effective. The renewal process usually involves submitting a renewal form along with the payment of a fee, which serves to keep the license in good standing without the need to undergo the entire application process again.

This approach is not as straightforward as applying for a new license, which requires a comprehensive review and approval process. A new application may necessitate additional documentation and could take more time and resources. Waiting for the expiration is not advisable, as it can result in the license becoming invalid, which could affect one’s ability to perform necessary duties. Simply notifying the licensing board does not fulfill the requirement to maintain the validity of the license; it is the payment of the renewal fee that is essential to ensure continuity.
