WAC 4-25-792 How do I
reinstate a lapsed individual license, CPA-Inactive certificate, or
registration as a resident nonlicensee firm owner?
If your individual license or
CPA-Inactive certificate has lapsed, you may not use the title CPA or
CPA-Inactive until your individual license or CPA-Inactive certificate is
reinstated by the board.
Individuals who held a valid license
on June 30, 2001, and individuals obtaining a license after June 30, 2001,
are not eligible to reinstate as CPA-Inactive certificateholders.
If your registration as a resident
nonlicensee firm owner has lapsed, you may not be an owner of a CPA firm
until your registration is reinstated by the board.
To reinstate a lapsed individual
license, CPA-Inactive certificate, or registration as a nonlicensee firm
owner you must use the form provided by the board and satisfy CPE
requirements in WAC 4-25-830(6). An
application is not complete and cannot be processed until all fees,
required information, required documentation, and other documentation
deemed necessary by the board are received by the board.
To reinstate, you must submit to the
board:
(1) A complete reinstatement form
including your certification, under the penalty of perjury, that you have:
(a) For those who wish to reinstate
a license or CPA-Inactive certificate: Not used the title CPA or
CPA-Inactive during the time in which your individual license or
CPA-Inactive certificate was lapsed; or
(b) For those who wish to reinstate
a registration as a resident nonlicensee firm owner: Not participated as
an owner in a CPA firm during the time in which your registration as a
resident nonlicensee firm owner was suspended or revoked; and
(c) Met the CPE requirements for
reinstatement in WAC 4-25-830(6); and
(d) Met the CPE supporting
documentation requirements in WAC 4-25-833;
(2) Source documents as evidence of
eligibility for CPE credit for all courses claimed in order to meet CPE
requirements as defined by WAC 4-25-833;
(3) A listing of all states and
foreign jurisdictions in which you hold or have applied for a license,
certificate, or practice privileges;
(4) All applicable fees; and
(5) Other required documents,
required information, and other documentation deemed necessary by the
board.
Upon approval of your reinstatement,
notice that your license, registration as a resident nonlicensee firm
owner, or CPA-Inactive certification has been reinstated will be mailed to
the last address you provided to the board. Your license, CPA-Inactive
certificate, or registration as a nonlicensee firm owner will expire on
June 30th of the third calendar year following approval of the
reinstatement. The CPE reporting period for your next renewal begins on
January 1 of the calendar year in which the reinstatement of your license,
CPA-Inactive certificate, or registration as a nonlicensee firm owner was
approved by the board and ends on December 31 of the second calendar year
following approval of the reinstatement. CPE credit hours utilized to
qualify for reinstatement cannot be utilized for this CPE reporting
period.
You may not use the title CPA or
CPA-Inactive until your reinstatement application has been approved.
With the exception of out-of-state
sole practitioning CPAs holding valid practice privileges in Washington
state under WAC 4-25-756, attest services
may only be performed in a CPA firm licensed by the board and meeting the
requirements of WAC 4-25-750.
