If a license requests inactivation, how long can it remain inactivated?

When a license is requested for inactivation in Arizona, it can remain inactivated for a period of 5 years. This provision allows licensees to take a break from their professional activities while ensuring that they can reactivate their licenses without retaking the exam or undergoing additional training, as long as they do so within this timeframe. After 5 years, if the license has not been reactivated, it may be subject to expiration, requiring the individual to follow the necessary steps to obtain a new license if they wish to practice again. Understanding this time frame is essential for licensees to manage their professional status effectively.
