18VAC41-20-160 License renewal required

A license or certificate issued under this chapter shall expire two years from the last day of the month in which it was issued. A multistate license expiration date shall run concurrently with the Virginia license.

18VAC41-20-170 Notice of renewal

The Department of Professional and Occupational Regulation will mail a renewal notice to the licensee, multistate licensee, or certificate holder outlining the procedures for renewal. Failure to receive this notice, however, shall not relieve the licensee, multistate licensee, or certificate holder of the obligation to renew. If the licensee, multistate licensee, or certificate holder fails to receive the renewal notice, a copy of the old license or certificate may be submitted as evidence of intent to renew, along with the required fee.

18VAC41-20-180 Failure to renew

A. When a licensed or certified individual an individual who holds a license, multistate license, or certificate or a business entity fails to renew its license or certificate within 30 days following its expiration date, the licensee, multistate licensee, or certificate holder shall apply for reinstatement of the license, multistate license, or certificate by submitting to the Department of Professional and Occupational Regulation a reinstatement application and renewal fee and reinstatement fee.

B. When a licensed or certified individual an individual who holds a license, multistate license, or certificate or a business entity fails to renew its license within two years following the expiration date, reinstatement is no longer possible. To resume practice:

1. The former licensee, multistate licensee, or certificate holder shall apply for licensure, multistate licensure, or certification as a new applicant and shall meet all current entry requirements for each respective license or certificate. An individual who holds an active multistate license in a member state is exempt from this requirement.

2. An individual initially granted licensure under any of the following examination or training waiver provisions, known as grandfathering, shall submit a new application showing the individual met the requirements of the applicable examination or training waiver provision, demonstrate five years of licensed experience, and pass the required examination:

a. Any person who was exempted from examination for licensure as a barber, as such person was engaged in the practice of barbering on or before July 1, 1966, in any establishment or place of business within which the practice of barbering was carried on by only one barber, and such person filed an application with the board on or before January 1, 1967.

b. Any person exempted from examination as a registered professional hair dresser, as such person was substantially engaged as a hairdresser in Virginia for at least nine months prior to June 29, 1962, and such person filed an application satisfactory to the board on or before July 1, 1963.

c. Any person exempted from training requirements for licensure as a nail technician, as such person had experience or training as a nail technician, and such person applied to the board for examination by October 1, 1991.

d. Any person exempted from examination as a wax technician pursuant to § 54.1-703.1 of the Code of Virginia.

C. The application for reinstatement for a school shall provide (i) the reasons for failing to renew prior to the expiration date and (ii) a notarized statement that all students currently enrolled or seeking to enroll at the school have been notified in writing that the school's license has expired. All of these materials shall be called the application package. Reinstatement will be considered by the board if the school consents to and satisfactorily passes an inspection of the school and if the school's records are maintained in accordance with 18VAC41-20-240 and 18VAC41-20-250 by the Department of Professional and Occupational Regulation. Pursuant to 18VAC41-20-130, upon receipt of the reinstatement fee, application package, and inspection results, the board may reinstate the school's license or require requalification or both. If the reinstatement application package and reinstatement fee are not received by the board within six months following the expiration date of the school's license, the board will notify the testing service that prospective graduates of the unlicensed school are not acceptable candidates for the examination. Such notification will be sent to the school and must be displayed in a conspicuous manner by the school in an area that is accessible to the public. No student shall be disqualified from taking the examination because the school was not licensed for a portion of the time the student attended if the school license is reinstated by the board.

D. The date a renewal fee is received by the Department of Professional and Occupational Regulation, or its agent, will be used to determine whether the requirement for reinstatement of a license, multistate license, or certificate is applicable.

E. When a license or certificate is reinstated, the licensee or certificate holder shall be assigned an expiration date two years from the date of the last day of the month of reinstatement.

F. When a multistate license is reinstated, the multistate license shall be assigned an expiration date concurrent with the expiration of the home state (or Virginia cosmetology) license.

F. G. A licensee, multistate licensee, or certificate holder that reinstates its license, multistate license, or certificate shall be regarded as having been continuously licensed or certified without interruption. Therefore, a licensee, multistate licensee, or certificate holder shall be subject to the authority of the board for activities performed prior to reinstatement.

G. H. A licensee or certificate holder that fails to reinstate its license or certificate shall be regarded as unlicensed or uncertified from the expiration date of the license or certificate forward. Nothing in this chapter shall divest the board of its authority to discipline a licensee, multistate licensee, or certificate holder for a violation of the law or regulations during the period of time for which the individual was licensed or certified.

18VAC41-20-260 Display of license

A. Each shop, salon, or school shall ensure that all current licenses, multistate licenses, certificates, or permits issued by the board shall be displayed in plain view of the public either in the reception area or at individual work stations of the shop, salon, or school.

B. Each shop, salon, or school shall ensure that no employee, licensee, student, or apprentice performs any service beyond the scope of practice for the applicable license.

C. All licensees, multistate licenses, certificate holders, and permit holders shall operate under the name in which the license, certificate, or permit is issued.
