Expiration? - correct answer -For starters, you renew it every two years (after the initial licensing period, which ranges from 12 to 24 months). If you're late: - No fine if expired < 30 days - $75 if expired < 90 days - $145 if expired < 365 days *- Canceled entirely after 1 year. Must reapply and fork over entire processing fee etc. (ouch!)*
*- If you wait longer than 2 years, then you not only have to apply for a new license from scratch but must also retake the JP exam* If you continue practicing with an expired license after 30 days, you are now practicing medicine without a license, which is a third degree felony.
