If a license has expired for 90 days or less, what must an applicant do for renewal?

When a license has expired for 90 days or less, the correct procedure for renewal is to pay half of the maximum renewal fee alongside the regular renewal fee. This approach acknowledges that while the license is no longer valid, it hasn't been expired for a significant duration, allowing the individual a more accessible avenue for renewing their license compared to those whose licenses have been expired for longer periods.

This renewal policy typically reflects the understanding that individuals with recently expired licenses are more likely to have maintained their knowledge and skills relevant to their licensing requirements. It ensures that the process remains manageable for applicants who may have simply overlooked the renewal deadline without substantial changes in their qualifications or training needs.

In contrast, the other alternatives present various incorrect requirements that are not consistent with the regulations for license renewal during that specific time frame.
