Which of the following are required for reinstatement when a license has been automatically suspended for five years or less due to failure to renew?

• A. Payment of reinstatement fee only
• B. Completion of continuing education units
• C. Submission of an affidavit of employment listing each job held during the period of suspension
• D. All of the above

Answer: (D)

The main idea here is that reinstatement after an automatic suspension for failure to renew requires fulfilling multiple concrete requirements, not just one. To restore the license, you must complete three distinct steps: pay the reinstatement fee, complete the mandated continuing education units, and submit an affidavit of employment listing every job held during the suspension period.

The reinstatement fee covers the back financial obligation and administrative processing. Completing continuing education units ensures you are up to date with current standards and practices, which helps protect public welfare and maintain professional competence after a lapse. The affidavit of employment provides a documented record of work activity during the suspension, confirming how you engaged with the profession and helping the board verify compliance with the suspension terms.

Because each element serves a different purpose—financial restoration, professional education, and employment verification—all are required for reinstatement. If any one part is missing, reinstatement cannot proceed. That’s why the correct approach is to satisfy all three requirements, making “All of the above” the right choice.
