How many years must a person wait to reapply for licensure after their license is revoked?

The correct interval for reapplying for licensure after a license has been revoked is three years. This waiting period is in place to ensure that individuals have sufficient time to address the issues that led to the revocation, whether they relate to behavior, skills, or compliance with state regulations.

During this three-year period, individuals have the opportunity to reflect on their past actions, seek additional education or training if necessary, and demonstrate their commitment to upholding the standards expected in the profession. This timeframe is designed to maintain the integrity of the licensing system and to protect the public by ensuring that only those who have adequately prepared themselves are allowed to return to practice.

The other options represent shorter periods, which would not provide enough time for the necessary personal and professional growth that the reapplication process requires. Engaging in a meaningful wait allows for rehabilitation and reassurance that the candidate is fit to practice in a professional capacity.
