What action must be taken if a license has expired or been in escrow for 5 years or more?

When a license has expired or been in escrow for 5 years or more, it is necessary to retake the exam and pass in order to ensure that the individual’s knowledge and skills are current and in line with industry standards. Licensing boards require this to maintain the quality and safety of services provided by practitioners. This process helps to confirm that the individual is up to date with the latest practices, regulations, and techniques that are relevant to the profession. Retaking the exam serves as a safeguard for both the licensee and the public, ensuring continued competence in the field of nail technology.
