What must be paid along with the application for reinstating a retired license?

When reinstating a retired license, the requirement to pay the full renewal fee for an active license reflects the need to bring the license back to an active status, which typically necessitates compliance with the standard financial obligations associated with active licenses. This fee helps ensure that the license holder is up to date with all the necessary costs required to maintain the validity of their credentials and ensures that the renewal process adheres to the regulatory framework governing licensed professionals.

The rationale behind this requirement is to support the regulatory body in maintaining the standards and integrity of the professions while encouraging licensees to stay engaged and current with changes in their field. Such fees contribute to the overall administrative costs involved in processing the reinstatement and managing the active licensing system. Thus, paying the full renewal fee is a fundamental part of reactivating a retired license.
