Help Center / How do I change the status of my license to inactive?


Log into your MQA Online Services Portal account and select Request Inactive Status from the “Manage My License” pulldown menu.

After Expiration:

Log into your MQA Online Services Portal account and select Request Inactive Status after Expiration Date from the “Manage My License” pulldown menu.

NOTE: Your inactive status license must be renewed prior to the expiration date. Reactivation of your license will require verification that you have completed the required continuing education during the period since your last active renewal. Licenses that have been inactive for over 4 years must provide proof of the practice of medicine during their inactive status. Employment does not have to have been in Florida. Licensees who have been inactive for over 4 years and have not practiced medicine during that time must complete the SPEX exam. If the license is not renewed after two consecutive biennial licensure cycles, the license will expire and the physician will have to reapply for licensure meeting the current licensure requirements.
