For reactivating an inactive license, what must be provided besides fees?

• A. Proof of continuing education
• B. A new license exam
• C. A background check
• D. A physician sign-off

Answer: (A)

Reactivating an inactive license is contingent on showing that you’ve kept up with ongoing professional education. In Florida, the renewal and reactivation process requires proof of continuing education to demonstrate you’ve remained current in the profession. When you apply to reactivate, you submit documentation of the CE hours you’ve completed, typically in the form of certificates, transcripts, or an official board CE record. This is what confirms you’ve maintained competency since your license became inactive.

A new license exam is not generally required for reactivation, and a background check or a physician sign-off isn’t a standard part of the reactivation requirement. The emphasis is on having completed the mandated CE before the license can be activated again, ensuring patient safety and up-to-date practice.
