What is required for the reinstatement of a retired license?

To reinstate a retired survey license in Tennessee, fulfilling all examination requirements is essential. This means that if the retired status has been maintained for a period, the individual must demonstrate their current competency and knowledge of surveying principles and practices by successfully completing any mandated examinations. This requirement ensures that retired licensees have up-to-date skills and are aware of any changes that may have occurred in the standards, technologies, and regulations governing surveying since their retirement.

The focus on examination aligns with regulatory objectives to maintain a high standard of practice within the profession, thus protecting public safety and the integrity of the surveying field. It is important for surveyors re-entering the field to be adequately prepared and informed, which is why examination completion is part of the reinstatement process.
