What might happen if a license holder's license is revoked?

When a license holder's license is revoked, it typically means that the authority has taken definitive action to cancel the license, making it permanently invalid. This is a serious financial or legal consequence depending on the profession, as revocation often suggests a significant violation of regulations or standards.

In most cases, that individual will no longer have the legal right to perform the activities for which the license was issued. As a result, they generally must go through a complete re-evaluation process which may include waiting periods, additional education, or other requirements before they could potentially regain their licensure.

This context reinforces why the license being permanently cancelled is a correct understanding of the consequences of revocation. The other options imply possibilities of reapplication that typically do not align with the implications of having a license revoked. Generally, revocation signals a need for a broader corrective response rather than immediate reinstatement.
