What must be done if a license is to be continued?

To ensure a license is continued, a written request must be made using the prescribed forms, accompanied by the applicable fee and a statement of continuing education. This process is essential because it verifies that the licensee has completed the necessary educational requirements to stay updated in their field and maintains compliance with state regulations.

Submitting only the fee would not demonstrate that the licensee has engaged in the required continuing education, which is a key component for maintaining licensure. Filling out a new application form entirely is not required for license continuation, as the focus is on verifying the ongoing competency of the licensee rather than reapplying as a new candidate. Providing proof of insurance coverage is not a standard requirement for license continuation but may be necessary for specific roles or circumstances in adjusting insurance claims. Thus, the comprehensive process in choice A ensures that all necessary criteria for continued licensure are met, which is crucial for maintaining legal and professional standing in the industry.
