Michigan License Law Practice Test

If a salesperson fails to renew their license within the grace period, what action is NOT required for relicensure within 3 years?

1. Submitting a renewal application

2. Completing required continuing education

3. Paying a late renewal fee

4. Submitting a letter explaining the circumstances

The correct answer is: Submitting a letter explaining the circumstances

When a salesperson fails to renew their license within the grace period, certain actions are necessary to become relicensed if they choose to do so within three years. However, submitting a letter explaining the circumstances of the late renewal is not mandated for relicensure. The renewal application is a necessary step to reinstate the license, as is the completion of the required continuing education, which ensures that the salesperson is updated on any changes in laws or practices that have occurred since their last license was active. Paying a late renewal fee is also standard practice within the relicensure process, as it accounts for the failure to renew in a timely manner. In contrast, submitting a letter explaining the circumstances is not a requirement within the licensing framework. While it may provide context for why the renewal was missed, it does not affect the core requirements for reapplying for the license.
