If a license is issued to someone who does not qualify, what is a possible outcome?

• A. It can be canceled
• B. It remains valid with time
• C. It must be tested again next year
• D. It becomes a provisional license

Answer: (A)

Licensing exists to ensure that only those who meet the required standards can practice. When a license is issued to someone who does not qualify, the regulator has grounds to cancel that license to protect public safety and upholding standards. Cancellation is the direct action regulators typically take to rectify an improper issuance and prevent unqualified practice. The license wouldn’t simply stay valid or become automatically provisional, and automatic re-testing next year isn’t the standard consequence of an improper issuance. Cancellation directly addresses the mismatch between qualification and the license.
