INACTIVE status can be elected by a licensee who is not practicing in the state of Florida who wishes to maintain their license each renewal. Generally, this status is elected by licensees when they intend to return to practice in Florida, but cannot (or do not wish to) complete Continuing Education required for renewal. Facilities cannot elect INACTIVE status.

Licenses in INACTIVE status can be reactivated. A practitioner who has elected INACTIVE status is not authorized to practice in the state of Florida.
