What additional requirement is there for reactivating a retired status license that has been inactive for more than 5 years?

To reactivate a retired status license that has been inactive for more than five years, one of the essential requirements is to retake and pass the Florida Licensure Examination (FLRE) in the preceding year. This requirement is in place to ensure that the individual is updated on current practices, standards, and knowledge in the field of psychology, as the profession can evolve significantly over time. By passing the FLRE, the individual demonstrates competence and readiness to resume active practice.

In this context, completing internship hours, providing a statement of intent, or taking a comprehensive evaluations course may not specifically address the need for current licensure competency after an extended period of inactivity. Each of these elements may have its own relevance, but they do not fulfill the particular requirement for reactivation as mandated by Florida laws governing the practice of psychology. The emphasis on passing the licensure exam reiterates the importance of maintaining up-to-date skills and knowledge in the field.
