If a person's license has been expired for more than 90 days but less than a year, what is the requirement for renewal?

When a person's esthetician license has been expired for more than 90 days but less than a year, they must complete the usual renewal requirements and pay a late fee, which is typically set at two times the normal renewal fee. This is designed to encourage timely renewals while still allowing those who have let their license lapse to regain their standing within the field.

In many regulatory frameworks, including those governing estheticians, there are mechanisms in place that reflect the importance of maintaining active licensure. The higher late fee underscores the responsibility of practitioners to keep their licenses up to date.

On the other hand, simply paying the normal renewal fee would not typically suffice since the renewal is past the grace period and does not account for additional administrative considerations related to an expired license. Taking and passing both written and practical exams is generally more applicable to those whose licenses have been expired for a longer period, or who have let their licenses lapse for considerable time — not usually those under one year. Reapplying for a new license would also indicate a more drastic measure than necessary for someone in this specific timeframe who has otherwise met the requirements for their practice. Thus, option B accurately reflects the stipulated requirements for license renewal in this situation.
