What is the renewal fee for a license that has expired less than 90 days?

When a veterinary license has expired for less than 90 days, the renewal fee is set at 1.5 times the regular renewal fee. This structure serves as a way to encourage timely renewal and maintain up-to-date records for veterinary professionals. The grace period of 90 days allows practitioners a chance to renew their licenses without facing severe penalties while still imposing increased fees to reflect the lapse in active status. This system not only helps uphold professional standards but also provides a financial incentive to ensure licenses remain current.

In contrast, other options like paying 2 or 3 times the regular renewal fee would apply in different circumstances, often involving longer periods of expiration or more serious repercussions for prolonged lapses. The regular renewal fee would only be applicable if the license remained active without any expiration.
