**You can make your license inactive at anytime. You do not need to wait for your renewal notice, second notice, or final notice coupled with a phone call, email, or letter to make your license inactive**
Please note, if you choose to be licensed in NC again, and it has been expired for more than a year you are issued a new license number.
To make your license inactive you can fill out the license renewal form and select the “I do not want to renew my license” option to move your license to inactive. Or if you do not want to fill out the form and you would still like your license to go to inactive you can email Elisabeth Newman and let her know.
If you do not fill out the license renewal form, or send Elisabeth an email you will receive your first renewal notice, a second, and a final one stating your license has been suspended. When sending the final notice a phone call will be made, an email sent, or a letter mailed letting the licensee know of the suspension.
Moving your license to the inactive status puts it there indefinitely. If you want to remove your license from the inactive status you have two options.
If you are unsure of your licenses inactive date give the office a call.
Has your license been expired for less than a year?
If it has been less than a year you can fill out the renewal form and pay the delinquent fee.
Has your license been expired for more than a year?
