Here are some Mold License Renewal Frequently Asked Questions:

• How far in advance of the mold license expiration date can a renewal application be submitted?
  An applicant seeking to renew a mold license shall submit a renewal application no sooner than one year before the license expires.
  
  
• How does the renewal process work for licensees who hold multiple mold licenses, each with different expiration dates?
  A separate renewal application and non-refundable fee must be submitted for each mold license type held by the licensee. Renewal applications should be submitted no sooner than one year before each license expires. Depending on when the applicant completes the mold refresher course, it is possible that the same mold refresher course could be used to renew multiple license types. The mold refresher course can be taken up to one year in advance of the applicant's mold license expiration date, therefore it can be used to renew all license types that expire within that one-year time period. A copy of the refresher course completion certificate must accompany each license type renewal application.
  
  
• How much time does an applicant have to apply for a mold license after taking the required initial training?
  The Department recommends that applicants apply for a mold license within two years of completing the initial mold training course.
  Applicants who apply for a mold license more than two years after completing the initial mold training course must also show proof of completing a mold refresher course within three years of the initial course and every other year thereafter in order to be eligible for licensure. If a mold refresher course was not completed within the appropriate timeframe(s), the applicant will be required to repeat the initial mold training course in order to apply for licensure.
  
  
• If a student completed an initial mold training course, but never submitted an application to obtain a mold license, are they still eligible to take a mold refresher?
  Students who completed initial mold training but never obtained a license can take the mold refresher. However, depending on the amount of time that has passed since completion of their initial mold training course, the student's mold refresher may not be valid toward the mold licensing requirements.
  Training providers should advise students to apply for a mold license within two years of completing the initial mold training course. Students who apply for a mold license more than two years after completing the initial mold training course must also show proof of completing a mold refresher course within three years of the initial course and every other year thereafter in order to be eligible for licensure. If a mold refresher course was not completed within the appropriate timeframe(s), the student will be required to repeat the initial mold training course in order to apply for licensure.
  
  
• Can unlicensed individuals attend the mold refresher course?
  Training providers have discretion over who is allowed to attend their mold training courses; however, they must inform the individuals of the requirements for mold licensure and provide them with the Department's contact information prior to registration.
  
  
• How does one obtain a replacement mold license if it was lost or stolen?
  If a mold license is lost or stolen prior to its expiration, the licensee may request a replacement. The licensee should submit a letter to the Department which includes the licensee's name, DMV ID number, address, and an explanation of the loss. The letter should be sent to the address below. No fee is required for replacement licenses.
