Retirement or Inactive Status

There is not a​​ "retired" or "inactive" status for this credential.  If you are retiring or moving out of state, and do not plan to work under your Wisconsin license, you may simply let your license expire. If you choose to allow your license to expire, you may renew it any point within 5 years from the date of expiration by incurring an additional $25.00 late renewal fee.  If your license is expired for 5 years or more and you wish to renew, you will need to complete a late renewal after 5 years application.​

Wisconsin Act 210 (effective June 1, 2012)

This Act extends the license of a service member if the license expires while they are on active duty from 90 days to 180 days from the date of discharge. The same applies to a spouse of a service member if the spouse does not practice under their license while the service member is on active duty and does not practice because the service member is on active duty.

This Act repeals a provision of prior law that required a service member to meet all of the requirements for license extension or renewal, except for continuing education requirements, in order to have the license extended.

Service members and spouses may request extensions of licenses beyond 180 days from discharge and may request a waiver or extension of time to complete continuing education requirements due to hardship. Please view Active Duty/Discharge Renewal Extension Form #R210.
