What must be notified to the board immediately in case of a license loss?

In the event of a license loss, it is essential to notify the board immediately because they are the governing authority responsible for overseeing licensing within the cosmetology field. This prompt notification ensures that the board can take appropriate actions regarding the lost license and maintain the integrity of the licensing process.

Reporting to the board also establishes a record of the loss, which may be required for verification and for any future licensing processes. Additionally, it demonstrates compliance with state regulations, as failure to report a lost license could lead to potential disciplinary actions or complications when attempting to replace the lost license.

While informing current employers, family members, or the public may be helpful, the primary obligation is to the board as they are the body that regulates and issues licenses. Their awareness of the situation is crucial for the proper management of your licensing status.
