If a license has been expired for more than 90 days but less than a year, what is the required late renewal fee?

When a license has been expired for more than 90 days but less than a year, the regulations typically impose a late renewal fee that is set at two times the normally required renewal fee. This policy is designed to encourage timely renewal and ensure that licensed professionals maintain their credentials without significant gaps in validity.

The rationale behind charging a higher fee for late renewals is to reinforce the importance of staying current with licensure requirements, as it helps mitigate potential risks associated with outdated knowledge or skills in the profession. In this situation, professionals seeking to renew their licenses must be aware that while they can still renew their expired licenses, they will face a financial penalty that reflects the duration of their lapse. This mechanism is not uncommon in licensing systems as it balances the need to maintain professional standards while allowing for some flexibility for license holders.
