When must you repost any mental health changes to the board?

• A. When renewing your license every 2 years
• B. Annually
• C. Upon filing new state paperwork
• D. Never

Answer: (A)

Mental health status that could affect your ability to practice must be kept current with the licensing board, and the formal opportunity to update that information is at the license renewal time. In this jurisdiction, licenses are renewed every two years, so you report any changes at that biennial renewal. This ensures the board has up-to-date information to protect patients and may trigger evaluation or restrictions if needed. Reporting changes outside of renewal isn’t the standard process, and “never” isn’t appropriate because changes that affect safety must be disclosed.
