what do you do with your license?

When you leave a state, what do you do with your license as a traveler? I'm finishing up an assignment in Pennsylvania, and don't have plans to return here. I'm moving on to other states. Do you deactivate your license?

If you deactivate your license, do you still have to pay the licensing fee for referrals to other states?

Appreciate any help!

I just realized how expensive it's going to get to apply for a license in each new state, because not only do you have the new state's fees, you have the prior state referral fees, etc! Don't know how travelers do it long term!!

Thanks for all the help!

That is a good question. I once had 10 licenses. Some I renewed each time and the others just let lapse. It depends on what state you desire a license in. Michigan wanted verification of "ALL" states I had ever worked in. Took almost 4 months and lots of money to get that license. Won't do that again. I am trying to keep my locations to just a few. I have a home base and two other states I wish to travel to. Hopefully I can continue to find jobs in those areas and not have to get more licenses. Wish I was more into politics and could urge the congress to allow a federal license good every where in the US, to stop the rampant waste of federal funds by sending money to the head of financial leaders who couldn't control the money they had before. I could go on and on this morning.

I keep them active. Its cheaper to pay 50 bux every two years than having to do an endorsement again. We just try to travel in the staes we're licensed in.

I don't understand why anyone would want to deactivate the license??

I mean if you don't plan on going back then just let it lapse and don't pay the fees...

I have an MD license that is lapsed, but if I wanted to go back, all I have to do is pay the fees and it will be re-instated. I renew all my other licenses (CA,OR), because those are the 2 states I tend to work in most. Besides, it's a tax write-off
