No earlier than 60 days prior to your license expiration, send out in the renewal cost, make checks payable to the Treasurer of Virginia, and include your registration number on your check.

You CAN NOT continue to practice in Virginia after your license has expired or if your license is on non-active status.

My renewal payment was one day late and I have actually always paid on time. Can you waive the late charge?

No. Board guidelines supply a 30-day duration after the expiration date in which a license might be restored without penalty (for that reason, your payment is actually 31 days late). Staff can not waive the cost.

Regulations specify that if the requirements for renewal of a license, including receipt of the cost by the board, are not total within one month of the expiration date, a reinstatement cost is needed.

Once your license ends, you no longer have a license to practice property. The 30-day period is not a license extension, but only an extra one month to finish your education and send payment without having to pay the reinstatement charge.

I did not renew on time because I didn't receive my renewal card. Do I still need to pay a late fee or reinstate my license?

Yes. Board policies state that failure to receive the renewal notice does not ease the licensee of the responsibility to restore.

Does the Board workplace utilize the date of receipt or the postmark date to determine whether an application or renewal was gotten on time?

The date the application or renewal was received in the company identifies whether it is on time, not the postmark date. If the renewal fee is gotten after the due date, you will be required to pay the reinstatement charge. If the reinstatement cost is gotten after the due date, you will be needed to reapply for licensure, fulfilling all existing requirements.
