Section § 7586.1

To renew a license or certificate before it expires, you need to fill out a specific form provided by the director and pay the necessary fee. Once renewed, you'll receive proof of renewal and, for certain people, pocket cards. However, you can't renew if you have outstanding fines that haven't been paid or resolved.

(a) To renew an unexpired license or certificate, the licensee shall, on or before the date on which it would otherwise expire, apply for renewal on a form prescribed by the director, and pay the renewal fee prescribed by this chapter. On renewal, such evidence of renewal of the license or certificate as the director may prescribe, and renewal pocket cards for the persons mentioned in Section 7582.13, shall be issued to the licensee.

(b) A license or certificate shall not be renewed until any and all fines assessed pursuant to Section 7587.7 and not resolved in accordance with the provisions of that section have been paid.

Section § 7586.2

You can renew an expired license or branch office certificate within three years of its expiration in California. To do so, you must submit a renewal application using the director's form and pay the renewal fee. If your renewal is more than 30 days late, you'll also need to pay a late fee. The renewal becomes effective when you complete the last required step, and it extends your license or certificate validity until the next expiration date. Importantly, even if renewed, the license or certificate holder can still face disciplinary actions for past misconduct.

Except as otherwise provided in this article, an expired license or branch office certificate may be renewed at any time within three years after its expiration on filing of application for renewal on a form prescribed by the director, and payment of the renewal fee in effect on the last preceding regular renewal date. If the license or certificate is renewed more than 30 days after its expiration, the licensee, as a condition precedent to renewal, shall also pay the delinquency fee prescribed in this chapter. Renewal under this section shall be effective on the date on which the application is filed, on the date on which the renewal fee is paid, or on the date on which the delinquency fee, if any, is paid, whichever last occurs. If so renewed, the license or certificate shall continue in effect through the date provided in Section 7586 which next occurs after the effective date of the renewal, when it shall expire if it is not again renewed.

Renewal of a license or certificate shall not prohibit the bringing of disciplinary proceedings for an act committed before the effective date of the renewal.

Section § 7586.3

This law says that if your license, branch office certificate, or qualified manager certificate is suspended, you can still renew it as usual. However, even if renewed, you cannot perform any activities related to that license or certificate while it remains suspended until it is officially reinstated. Additionally, you cannot do anything that goes against the order or judgment that suspended it. This rule will start being enforced on January 1, 2025.

(a) A suspended license, branch office certificate, or qualified manager certificate is subject to expiration and shall be renewed as provided in this article, but renewal of the license does not entitle the licensee, while the license remains suspended and until it is reinstated, to engage in the licensed activity, or in any other activity, or in any other activity or conduct in violation of the order or judgment by which the license was suspended, and renewal of the branch office certificate or qualified manager certificate does not entitle the licensee, while the certificate remains suspended, and until it is reinstated, to engage in the licensed activity at the location for which the certificate was issued, or to engage in any other activity or conduct in violation of the order or judgment by which the certificate was suspended.

(b) This section shall become operative on January 1, 2025.

Section § 7586.4

If a person’s professional license or certificate is revoked, it will still expire like normal, but it can’t be renewed. If they want to get it back after it’s expired, they must pay a fee equal to the renewal fee at the time it was revoked, plus any late fees. This rule starts being in effect on January 1, 2025.

(a) A revoked license, branch office certificate, or qualified manager certificate is subject to expiration as provided in this article, but it may not be renewed. If it is reinstated after its expiration, the licensee, as a condition precedent to its reinstatement, shall pay a reinstatement fee in an amount equal to the renewal fee in effect on the last regular renewal date before the date on which it is reinstated, plus the delinquency fee, if any, accrued at the time of its revocation.
