Current as of January 01, 2025 | Updated by Findlaw Staff

(a) Except as provided in subsection (e) of this section and unless a license is renewed for a 2-year term as provided in this section, the license expires every other year on the anniversary of the date of issuance of the license.

(b)(1) At least 1 month before a license expires, the Board shall mail or electronically transmit to the licensee:

(i) a renewal application form; and

(ii) a notice that states:

1. the date on which the current license expires; and

2. the amount of the renewal fee as required under § 6.5-207 of this title.

(2) If an electronic transmission under paragraph (1) of this subsection is returned to the Board as undeliverable, the Board shall mail to the licensee, at the last known address of the licensee, the materials required under paragraph (1) of this subsection within 10 business days of the date the Board received the notice that the electronic transmission was undeliverable.

(3) The failure of a licensee to receive the notice as provided for in this subsection does not prevent the license from expiring as specified under subsection (a) of this section.

(1) otherwise is entitled to be licensed;

(2) pays to the Board the appropriate license renewal fee required under § 6.5-207 of this title; and

(3) submits to the Board a renewal application on the form that the Board provides.
