If a license has been revoked, what is the next step for reinstatement?

When a license has been revoked, the proper next step for reinstatement typically involves paying a reinstatement fee. This fee is often part of the formal process that indicates the individual is taking steps to reinstate their professional standing and signals compliance with state regulations. Payment of this fee also usually accompanies the submission of any required documentation or application forms necessary for the reinstatement process.

Restoration of a revoked license is not automatic; it requires active engagement from the individual to demonstrate their commitment to adhering to the regulations of their profession and rectifying any issues that led to the revocation in the first place. Simply submitting an application for renewal or waiting for automatic reinstatement overlooks the specific requirements set forth by licensing boards in California, which usually need a fee and possibly additional evidence of rehabilitation or commitment to professional standards. Reapplying for a new license might be an option in some cases, but the preferred and standard procedure begins with the payment of a reinstatement fee.
