Section § 5680

This law explains that licenses must be renewed every 24 months, with the expiration date determined by the board to spread out renewals throughout the year. To renew a license, the holder needs to apply and pay the required fee before it expires. The renewal form must include a statement about any recent criminal convictions or disciplinary actions by other agencies, ensuring all information is true and correct, to the best of the licensee's knowledge.

(a) Licenses issued under this chapter shall expire no more than 24 months after the issue date. The expiration date of the original license shall be set by the board in a manner to best distribute renewal procedures throughout each year.

(b) To renew an unexpired license, the licenseholder shall, on or before the expiration date of the license, apply for renewal on a form prescribed by the board, and pay the renewal fee prescribed by this chapter.

(c) The renewal form shall include a statement specifying whether the licensee was convicted of a crime or disciplined by another public agency during the preceding renewal period and that the licensee’s representations on the renewal form are true, correct, and contain no material omissions of fact, to the best knowledge and belief of the licensee.

Section § 5680.05

If a licensed professional is found guilty by a California court of a crime or responsible for causing harm through fraud, negligence, or other unprofessional behavior, the court clerk must inform the relevant licensing board within 10 days.

Within 10 days after a judgment by a court of this state that a licenseholder has committed a crime or is liable for any death, personal or property injury or loss caused by the licenseholder’s fraud, deceit, negligence, incompetency, or recklessness in practice, the clerk of the court which rendered the judgment shall report this to the board.

Section § 5680.1

This California law says that you can renew a professional license that has expired within five years, by applying with the right form and paying all past due fees. If you renew more than 30 days after expiration, you also have to pay a late fee. The renewal takes effect when you file the application, pay the fees, or pay the late fee, whichever happens last. Your renewed license will then stay valid until the next expiration date set by another related rule.

Except as otherwise provided in this chapter, a license that has expired may be renewed at any time within five years after its expiration on filing of an application for renewal on a form prescribed by the board, and payment of all accrued and unpaid renewal fees. If the license is renewed more than 30 days after its expiration, the licenseholder, as a condition precedent to renewal, shall also pay the delinquency fee prescribed by this chapter. Renewal under this section shall be effective on the date on which the application is filed, on the date on which all renewal fees are paid, or on the date on which the delinquency fee, if any, is paid, whichever last occurs. If so renewed, the license shall continue in effect through the date provided in Section 5680 that next occurs after the effective date of the renewal, when it shall expire if it is not again renewed.

Section § 5680.2

If your professional license expires and you don't renew it within five years, you can't simply renew it. Instead, you'll need to apply for a new license and meet all the original requirements, including paying the necessary fees.

A license that is not renewed within five years after its expiration may not be renewed, restored, reissued, or reinstated thereafter, but the holder of the expired license may apply for and obtain a new license if they pay all of the fees and meet all of the requirements set forth in this chapter for obtaining an original license.
