Licensure Requirements - Special Notes

 

All Licensees

 

Failure to remit fees by expiration date will result in a penalty fee being assessed. All penalties are strictly enforced and are never waived.

 

Active Licenses

 

The renewal form will include the renewal fee

 

Inactive Licenses (Instructors ONLY)

 

The renewal form includes the renewal fee. The licensee must remit that amount.

 

Failure To Complete Renewal Requirements

 

If the LICENSEE fails to complete ALL requirements for renewal, the license will expire. PERSONS who continue to act in any capacity in the cosmetology field will be subject to disciplinary action. THE ABILITY TO REINSTATE AN EXPIRED LICENSE DOES NOT ALLOW A PERSON TO CONTINUE TO ACT AS A LICENSEE WITHOUT A VALID LICENSE. Please contact the COSMETOLOGY BOARD office for specific reinstatement policy provisions.

 

If you need additonal information, please contact the COSMETOLOGY BOARD office. However, no verbal statement made by a member of the board office staff should be interpreted as an exception or waiver of these instructions and policies.
