If an applicant passes the written field exam and the Oregon law and rules exam, what is issued, its validity period, and when it goes inactive?

• A. License, three years, on the first day of the month after issuance
• B. Permit, one year, on the anniversary of issuance
• C. Registration, two years, expiration date not specified
• D. Certificate, two years, on the last day of the month two years from date of issuance

Answer: (D)

After completing the required exams, the board issues a certificate authorizing you to practice esthetics. That certificate is valid for two years and goes inactive on the last day of the month two years from the date of issuance. So, for example, if issued on any day in a given month, it would expire on the last day of that same month two years later. To stay active, you would renew before that expiration date; if you don’t, the certificate becomes inactive.
