CComplete only the 45-hour post-licensing course since they were previously licensed
DComplete 14 hours of CE and pay a reinstatement fee
Explanation
In Florida, if a license has been null and void for more than 24 months (expired more than 2 years without renewal), the person must reapply as a new applicant. This means completing the 63-hour pre-licensing course, passing the state exam, and meeting all current application requirements. Prior licensure does not provide a shortcut once the null and void period has passed.
