How many times may a license be inactivated?

In Arizona, a license may be inactivated a total of two times. This provision is designed to allow individuals the opportunity to temporarily halt their license status for personal or professional reasons without permanently losing their credentials. Each inactivation serves as a safeguard to provide flexibility while maintaining a structured approach to license management.

The limit of two inactivations ensures that the licensing body has assurance that individuals are engaged with the profession and can uphold regulatory standards over time. It balances the need for flexibility with the requirement for accountability, reducing the potential for misuse of the inactivation process.

In contrast, options that suggest a different number of inactivations do not align with established regulations and may imply an overly lenient or restrictive policy approach that does not reflect the guidelines specified by Arizona laws.
