How to Request Continuation of License or Permit Due to Military Deployment
General Information
If you are an active duty military, activated reservist or member of the National Guard who qualifies, you may apply to have your professional license remain active while you are on active military deployments (29 Del. C. §8735 (p)). The protection from license or permit expiration provided under this provision does not void or limit your obligations as a licensee to meet all requirements of licensure as required by applicable law.
Applying for License/Permit Continuation
- Before you are deployed, submit a completed, signed and notarized Application for Continuation of License or Permit During Military Deployment form to the board/commission office for your profession. Send the application to the attention of your Board/Commission office.
- Enclose copy of official deployment documents.
Renewing Your License When You Return from Active Military Deployment
- How long you have to renew your license when you return depends on whether or not you are required to complete continuing education (CE) for renewal of your license/permit. For information about the renewal requirements for your license/permit, refer to the Renewal web page for your profession.
