Can a provisional verification be renewed?

• A. Yes, it can be renewed
• B. No, provisional verifications may not be renewed
• C. Only once after a formal review
• D. Only with board approval

Answer: (B)

Provisional verification is a temporary authorization that lets someone begin/continue work while the remaining eligibility requirements are finalized. It is designed to be a short, limited-status solution, not a stepping-stone to ongoing practice. Because its purpose is to bridge a gap until full verification is granted, there isn’t a mechanism to renew or extend that status. Once the provisional period ends or if any required elements remain incomplete, the individual cannot continue in the role under provisional status. To proceed, the person must complete all outstanding requirements and obtain full verification. So, provisional verifications cannot be renewed.
