What is required to put your credential on "inactive status"?

To place your credential on "inactive status," it is necessary to submit written notification to the department. This process ensures that the department has a formal and verifiable record of your request. Written notification provides clarity regarding your intention and protects both you and the department by creating an official documentation trail. While it may seem simpler to notify the department verbally or through other means, those methods do not provide the same level of assurance and documentation.

The requirement for written notification emphasizes the importance of formal procedures in maintaining credentialing standards and ensuring accountability within the profession. This method allows the department to efficiently process requests and maintain accurate records regarding the status of each credential.
