What must a licensee submit to apply for inactive status?

To apply for inactive status, a licensee is required to submit a written request on a prescribed form. This requirement ensures that the process is formalized and documented, allowing the licensing board to maintain a clear record of the request and the licensee's status. The use of a prescribed form also helps to standardize the application process, ensuring that all necessary information is collected consistently across all requests. By submitting this written request, the licensee effectively communicates their intention to hold their license in inactive status, which can have various implications for their practice and future reactivation of their license.

The other options involve practices that do not meet the official requirements for requesting inactive status. A verbal request lacks the formal documentation needed, while documentation of prior employment and proof of continuing education do not pertain to the specific requirement of applying for inactive status, focusing more on other aspects of licensure management.
