What action can the board take if the surrender of a certificate holder is accepted?

The acceptance of a certificate holder's surrender typically reflects that the individual is no longer authorized to practice in that capacity. When the board accepts the surrender, it is important to maintain an accurate and clear record regarding the status of the certificate holder. Changing their status to "surrendered certificate holder in good standing" serves to acknowledge the completion of their obligations while also indicating that they have voluntarily given up their certification. This status provides clarity for both the board and the public, enhancing transparency about the certificate holder's situation.

In contrast, automatically reinstating a certificate after surrender does not align with the intention of the action taken; a surrender usually means the individual wishes to relinquish their credentials permanently or temporarily. Regarding notifying other jurisdictions, while appropriate in some contexts, it is not a direct action taken by the board regarding the status change itself. Lastly, issuing a public notice of the surrender is not necessary or standard following a certificate's surrender and does not contribute to the formal record-keeping of the individual's certificate status.
