Which fee must be paid to renew a certificate that is currently inactive?

• A. Reinstatement Fee
• B. Renewal Fee
• C. Delinquency And Authorization Fee
• D. Late Filing Fee

Answer: (C)

When a license is inactive, you don’t renew it in the same way as an active license. The board imposes a Delinquency And Authorization Fee to address the period the license has been inactive and to authorize the renewal of that inactive status. This fee specifically handles bringing the license back into a state where renewal is possible. The other fees serve different purposes: a Reinstatement Fee is typically for bringing a lapsed license back to active status after it has expired, a Renewal Fee is the standard charge for renewing an active license, and a Late Filing Fee is charged when renewal is submitted after the deadline. For renewing an inactive certificate, the Delinquency And Authorization Fee is the appropriate charge to start the renewal process.
