How long does a licensee have to reinstate their license following expiration?

The correct timeframe for a licensee to reinstate their license following expiration in Idaho is within ninety days. This regulation is designed to provide a window for licensees to renew their credentials without subjecting themselves to the full renewal process that would apply after a longer duration of expiration.

During this ninety-day period, the licensee can typically pay any necessary fees and fulfill requirements for reinstatement, which helps ensure that professionals remain compliant with regulatory standards. This approach balances the need for regulatory oversight with the recognition that professionals may occasionally fail to renew on time due to various circumstances. If the reinstatement is not completed within this ninety-day period, the licensee would likely have to reapply for a new license, which involves a more rigorous process.
