What happens if a licensee fails to renew an active or voluntary inactive license?

When a licensee fails to renew an active or voluntarily inactive license, it transitions to an involuntary inactive status. This means that while the license is not active and cannot be used for conducting business, it is not lost or rendered null. The licensee remains eligible to reactivate the license upon fulfilling any outstanding renewal requirements; however, they cannot perform any activities associated with their license until it is reinstated to an active status.

Failing to renew does not mean the license is immediately null and void; there are processes in place that allow for a period of inactivity before further consequences arise. Automatic renewal is not applicable either, as licenses require proactive action from the licensee to maintain their status. Maintaining an active status for an additional year without renewal is also incorrect, as licenses do not automatically extend beyond their renewal date without the necessary action by the licensee.
