Veterinary licenses, veterinary technician registrations, and veterinary assistant permits must be renewed every two years, expiring at midnight on the last day of the original issue month, unless renewed beforehand. Premises registrations expire annually on the same schedule. To renew, applicants need to submit a completed form with a fee, confirming no felony or misdemeanor convictions, disciplinary actions, or violations of the law. If there are any issues, they must be disclosed. Additionally, licensees with an email address must update it during renewal. This email address is kept confidential.

If your professional license in California has expired, you have up to five years to renew it by submitting an application and paying all outstanding fees. However, if you wait over 30 days past the expiration to renew, you must also pay a late fee. The renewal officially takes effect on the latest date among your application submission, fee payment, or late fee payment. Once renewed, your license remains valid until the next expiration date, unless you renew it again.

If your professional license or registration is suspended in California, you still need to renew it. However, renewing it doesn't mean you're allowed to use it until the suspension is lifted, and you're not allowed to do anything that would break the rules of the suspension.

If your professional license or registration was revoked, it will still expire like any normal license, but you can't renew it. If you want to get it back after it has expired, you'll need to pay a reinstatement fee. This fee is the same as the last renewal fee you would have paid, plus any extra late fees that were added when your license was revoked.

If you don't renew your license within five years of it expiring, you can't simply renew it; instead, you must apply for a new one. To get a new license, you must not be disqualified, possibly pass an exam, or otherwise show you're qualified, and pay all the usual fees. The board might waive or refund the exam fee in some cases if you get the license without taking the exam.

In cases where someone is fined or forfeits bail related to violations under this chapter, half of the money collected goes to the California Veterinary Medical Board's fund, and the rest goes where the law states for other misdemeanors.

This law requires all money collected by the California Veterinary Medical Board to be reported and handed over to the state each month. The funds are then placed into a special account and can be used by the board, but only if the state legislature approves it.

This law lists the various fees that the California Veterinary Medical Board collects from veterinarians, veterinary technicians, and related professions. These fees cover costs such as licensing, renewals, course fees, and other administrative expenses. There are specific fees for application, renewal, and delinquency in different categories, including veterinarian licenses, university licenses, veterinary premises, and controlled substance permits. The board can adjust some fees within limits to ensure they have enough funds but not so much that there is an excessive reserve.
