What must be paid for the reinstatement of a suspended license or certificate?

1. Reinstatement application fee

2. Renewal and reinstatement fee

3. Administrative fee

4. Late renewal fee

The correct answer is: Renewal and reinstatement fee

The requirement to pay a renewal and reinstatement fee for the reinstatement of a suspended license or certificate is based on the regulatory framework that governs professional licensing in Arizona. This fee serves multiple purposes: it covers the administrative costs associated with processing the reinstatement application, and it ensures that the individual wishing to return to practice has met the necessary requirements to maintain the integrity and regulation of the profession. When a license or certificate is suspended, the professional typically must pay this fee as part of the process to confirm they are eligible to return to practice. This fee often includes elements associated with both renewing the license (if applicable) and reinstating it after a period of suspension. Other potential fees mentioned do exist but do not encapsulate the comprehensive nature of the renewal and reinstatement fee. An administrative fee might apply in specific scenarios related to additional costs incurred by the licensing board, but it does not replace the necessity for the combined renewal and reinstatement fee. Similarly, a late renewal fee would not typically apply in the context of reinstatement after suspension, as the reinstatement process is distinct from late renewal situations.
