For how long can a license be reinstated without passing a written examination after a lapse?

In Idaho, a license can be reinstated without the need to pass a written examination if the lapse period is less than twelve months. This provision is important for licensees who may have temporarily paused their practice but wish to return without undergoing the examination process again.

Once the lapse exceeds twelve months, individuals are required to demonstrate their competence again through taking and passing the written examination to ensure that they are up to date with current laws and regulations in the field. This approach helps maintain a standard of knowledge and professionalism among licensed adjusters in the state.

Choosing twelve months as the correct duration reflects the state's commitment to balancing accessibility for adjusters who need to renew their licensing with the necessity of retaining a competent and informed workforce.
