What is required of a licensee regarding a change of address?

The requirement for a licensee to notify the commissioner immediately about a change of address is essential to maintain accurate records and ensure effective communication. When a licensee changes their address, this information needs to be updated promptly to avoid any potential lapses in communication from regulatory authorities. An immediate notification ensures that the licensee stays compliant with state regulations and can receive important notices or information regarding their licensing status. This practice helps maintain the integrity of the licensing system and protects both the licensee and the public by ensuring that all communications are going to the correct location.

Other options do not align with regulatory standards; for example, simply reporting a physical mailing address or having a grace period of 30 days could lead to gaps in communication and issues in the regulatory process. Meanwhile, exempting email address changes undermines the importance of timely communication, which is critical in a profession that centers on public trust and regulatory compliance.
