Instructions for Reinstating/Reactivating a License
An individual whose license or registration is in an inactive or expired status may ll out this application to start
the reinstatement/reactivation process. However, if the Board, upon review of this application, determines that
additional information is required because it is necessary to evaluate your current competencies, you may be
required to submit to an examination and/or other requirements to be determined by the Board.
1. Submit:
a. A completed application for reinstatement.
b. A signed and dated list that includes every job you held during the period that your New Jersey license
or certicate was not in an active status. The list must include each employer’s name, address and
telephone number. You also must indicate whether you were practicing your profession or occupation
during the period your license was suspended or expired, and whether that practice was compensated or
uncompensated.
c. Proof that you have completed continuing education courses for the immediately preceding renewal
period, as required by N.J.S.A. 45:6-10.1 and N.J.A.C. 13:30-5.1. Acceptable proof would include,
but is not be limited to, a copy of your course completion certicates. If you were licensed to practice
and are in good standing in another state, proof of completion of that state’s continuing education
requirement will be accepted by the Board.
d. A letter of verication of licensure or certication from every state or jurisdiction where you hold or
have held a license or certicate.
e. A completed Certication and Authorization form for a criminal history background check with the
appropriate fee (please see the attached form for the current fee).
f. A check or money order payable to the State of New Jersey. To determine the appropriate amount,
please see the fee schedules below. If your license is currently in an “Inactive” or “Retired” status, you
must pay only the reinstatement fee and the current fee. If your license is currently in “Expired”
status, and you desire an “Active” license, you must pay the reinstatement fee plus the current renewal
fee and, if your license expired prior to the current licensing period, the immediate past renewal fee.
