- You are granted a 12-month window to renew the license; however, if this period elapses, you'll need to undergo both the written and practical exams again.
- It's important to note that a Verification of Competency (VOC) cannot be conducted on an expired license.
- High risk licensing fees are an additional cost of $100.
