What must a psychologist certify when renewing an inactive license?

When renewing an inactive license, a psychologist must certify that they have not violated any provisions of the licensing laws and have not practiced psychology during the period the license was inactive. This requirement is in place to ensure that psychologists maintain ethical standards and adhere to the legal regulations governing their practice, even if they are not actively providing psychological services.

By affirming that there have been no violations and no practice during this time, the psychologist demonstrates compliance with state laws and maintains the integrity of the licensing process. This also serves to protect the public by ensuring that only those who are currently qualified and compliant are practicing psychology. This regulatory measure underscores the importance of ethical conduct and adherence to the legal frameworks established for the profession.
