What should a licensee do within 10 days of a revoked or suspended license?

  1. Submit a new application

  2. Request a hearing

  3. Surrender the revoked or suspended license

  4. Notify all clients

The correct answer is: Surrender the revoked or suspended license

A licensee is required to surrender the revoked or suspended license within 10 days to comply with regulatory standards and ensure that they are no longer operating under a license that has been invalidated. This action helps to maintain the integrity of the licensing system and protects the public from unlicensed activity. Surrendering the license indicates acknowledgment of the disciplinary action taken against them and is a necessary step to formally conclude their ability to operate as a private investigator under that specific license until further resolution occurs. While other options may be relevant in different contexts—for instance, requesting a hearing might be a subsequent step for the licensee who wishes to contest the actions taken—immediate compliance with the surrender of the license is essential to adhere to regulatory directives and avoid further legal complications.
