Submit an Application: Complete the reinstatement application provided by the Board. Ensure that you fill out all required forms accurately and honestly.

Pay Fees: Be prepared to pay any reinstatement fees specified by the Board. These fees can vary, so check with the Board for the current amount.

Wait for Review: After submitting your application, the Board will review your case. The timeline for review can vary, so it's essential to be patient during this process.

Follow-Up: If the Board requests any additional information or has questions about your application, respond promptly and provide the necessary documentation.

Comply with Any Probation: If your reinstatement is approved with conditions, such as probation, make sure to adhere to these requirements diligently.
