How many days must a licensee notify the Department in writing for changes such as name, address, phone number, or email?

• A. 30 days
• B. 7 days
• C. 60 days
• D. 90 days

Answer: (A)

Licensees must notify the Department in writing within 30 days of any change to identifying information—name, address, phone number, or email. Keeping the Department’s records current ensures that important communications about licensing actions, renewals, and any disciplinary matters reach the correct person without delay. The 30-day window strikes a practical balance: it is short enough to prevent missed notices, yet long enough for a licensee to complete the update. Shorter timelines like 7 days are typically impractical, while longer ones such as 60 or 90 days increase the risk of missing time-sensitive communications. Submit the update in writing (or through the Department’s official licensing system) so the records reflect the new information accurately.
