Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: B. Apply for reactivation, pay fees, and complete all required continuing education, including delinquent hours.
For a license expired for more than one year but less than five, a cosmetologist must apply for reactivation, pay all applicable fees (renewal and delinquency), and complete all required continuing education, including any hours that were delinquent for prior renewal periods.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. This is typically for licenses expired for a shorter period (less than one year).
- C. While CE is required, the specific hours and a practical exam are not the full requirements for this duration of expiration.
- D. Retaking both exams is typically required if a license has been expired for five years or more, or if it was revoked.
