Except as provided in 18VAC50-30-120 F, if all of the applicable requirements for renewal of the license or certification as specified in 18VAC50-30-120 are not completed within 30 days of the license or certification expiration date, a reinstatement fee will be required as established in subsection B of this section.

Tradesman license reinstatement fees received on or before August 31, 2025, shall be $150. For all other reinstatement fees received on or before August 31, 2025, the fee shall be $120. This fee includes the renewal fee listed in 18VAC50-30-120.

C. The date on which the reinstatement fee is received by the department or its agent will determine whether the license or certification is reinstated or a new application is required.

D. A license or certification may be reinstated for up to 24 months following the expiration date of the license or certification. An individual who fails to reinstate the license or certification within 24 months after the expiration date must apply for a new license or certification and meet entry requirements in effect at the time of the submittal of the new application. Such individual will be deemed to be eligible to sit for the examination for the same category and specialty of license as the expired license.

E. Any regulated activity conducted subsequent to the expiration of the license may constitute unlicensed activity and may be subject to prosecution under Chapter 1 (§ 54.1-100 et seq.) or Chapter 11 (§ 54.1-1100 et seq.) of Title 54.1 of the Code of Virginia.

F. The board may deny reinstatement of a license or certification for the same reasons as it may refuse initial licensure or certification or discipline a regulant. The regulant has a right to request further review of any such action by the board under the Administrative Process Act (§ 2.2-4000 et seq. of the Code of Virginia).

G. Failure to timely pay any monetary penalty, reimbursement of cost, or other fee assessed by consent order or final order will result in delaying or withholding services provided by the department, including renewal, reinstatement, or processing of a new application.
