CONVERTING LICENSE STATUS

Active to Inactive

• An active license may be converted to inactive status ONLY at the time of renewal. 
• The change to inactive status requires an attestation from the licensee that they will no longer practice or represent to others that they are authorized to practice after the license has been converted to inactive status.
• Once converted, the license must still be renewed annually (for a lesser fee), and per NAC 637B.0368 the licensee must still complete the same annual Continuing Education requirement as they would for an active license.
• A licensee who does not plan to practice for the foreseeable future may also choose to simply let their license expire, which would remove the need to renew and complete CEs, and would have up to three (3) years to apply for a license reinstatement. 

Inactive to Active

• An inactive license may be converted to active status at any time, including at the time of license renewal.
• Please visit our Conversion Payment page to pay the fee and Board staff will make the change. You will be notified when the conversion is complete.
