What status can a licensed inspector apply for if they are not currently active?

A licensed inspector who is not currently active can apply for Inactive Inspector Status. This status allows inspectors to maintain their license without being engaged in active inspection duties. It serves as a means for inspectors to remain in good standing with their licensing authority while they may take a break from their professional activities for various reasons, such as personal circumstances or a temporary cessation of practice.

Inactive status typically allows inspectors to reactivate their license when they are ready to return to active duty, often without the need for re-examinations or fulfilling new training requirements, as long as they comply with any stipulated conditions from the licensing body. This is distinct from other statuses like "Retired," which usually signifies a permanent departure from the profession, or "Suspended," which indicates disciplinary action and an inability to practice until further notice.
