Licensing Process: Renewing a license

Inactive status

If you move out of state or decide to not practice clinical laboratory science in Florida, you can put your license on inactive status by filling out the necessary forms. You won't have to complete continuing education requirements and pay renewal fees while you're not using your license.

When you return to active practice in Florida, you can apply to have your license reactivated. You'll have to take up to 15 hours of continuing education per year that your license was inactive (up to 65 hours for all inactive years total), to make sure you're up-to-date on new techniques and technology.
