What action must a licensee take regarding changes in name or mailing address?

A licensee must notify the department of any changes in their name or mailing address to ensure that all communication and legal documentation are current and accurate. This requirement is essential for maintaining proper licensing and compliance with regulatory standards. Keeping the department informed helps ensure that the licensee receives important notifications, such as renewal reminders and any changes in laws or regulations impacting their practice. This action also supports accountability and transparency in the profession, reflecting a commitment to ethical practice. Failing to notify the department can lead to issues such as missed communications or potential disciplinary actions due to lack of compliance with licensing regulations.
