For a retired license, how long does an individual have to renew?

For a retired license, the individual has a period of 5 years to renew. This timeframe allows licensed professionals who have retired but may wish to return to active status within that period to do so without undergoing the full re-application process. Renewing a retired license is designed to keep professionals informed about any changes in regulations or standards in their field while maintaining their eligibility to practice. This approach balances the need for continued engagement with professional standards and the acknowledgment that individuals may take time off from active practice.
