Within how many days must a licensee report a name change to the Department of Safety and Professional Services?

A licensee is required to report a name change to the Department of Safety and Professional Services within 30 days. This timeline is established to ensure that the records maintained by the department are current and accurate. Prompt reporting of such changes is important for maintaining compliance with regulations and ensuring that all communications and documents reflect the correct name of the licensee. Timely updates help avoid potential issues such as delays in processing, confusion regarding the licensee’s identity, or complications that could arise during inspections or transactions involving real estate. Thus, the requirement for reporting within 30 days is set to uphold the integrity and professionalism of the licensing system.
