What is involved in the Reinstatement after Suspension process?

The process of Reinstatement after Suspension specifically involves applying for reinstatement due to a prior suspension. When an individual's certification has been suspended, it does not automatically revert to active status; action must be taken by the individual who was suspended to restore their certification. This often entails submitting an application that may require the individual to demonstrate that they have addressed the issues that led to their suspension, fulfilling any conditions set during the suspension period.

The other options do not accurately describe the reinstatement process. An automatic return to active status implies no action is needed, which contradicts the requirement for a formal application to reinstate certification after suspension. Issuing a final order of suspension is a procedural step that occurs prior to reinstatement and does not pertain to the act of reinstating. Additionally, a new submission for initial certification would apply to individuals seeking certification for the first time rather than those attempting to reinstate a previously held certification. Thus, the correct process centers around the need to apply for reinstatement specifically.
