Licenses given out under this specific set of rules will last for two years and will stop being valid at midnight on the last day of the month they were given out, unless stated otherwise.

If your professional license in California has expired because you didn't renew it on time, you can still renew it within five years. To do this, you need to apply, pay all overdue renewal and late fees, and complete any current continuing education requirements, if needed. The renewal takes effect once you've submitted the application and paid the necessary fees—whichever comes last. Once renewed, your license is valid until its next scheduled expiration date, unless you renew it again.

If you don't renew your license within five years of its expiration, it's considered canceled, and you can't renew it or get it back. To get a new license, you must apply again, pay the necessary fees, and pass any exams as if you were a first-time applicant.

If your professional license is suspended, it will still expire and you'll need to renew it in the usual way. However, renewing it doesn't mean you can start working again until the suspension is lifted. Even with a renewed license, you must follow the rules of your suspension order or judgment.

If someone has had their professional license revoked, it will still expire like a regular license, but you can't just renew it. If the license gets reinstated after it has expired, you need to pay a fee equal to the cost of renewing a current license before it can be reinstated.

This law lets the board break down license fees into different categories based on the steps involved, like reviewing applications or giving exams. These fees combined must not go over the set maximum for the license type. The board can also make rules so that if an applicant withdraws, doesn't show up for an exam, or needs to retake an exam, they might lose some or all of the fees they paid.
