The expiration date for licenses in Massachusetts is determined by which rule?

• A. On the test date anniversary
• B. On the individual's date of birth
• C. End of the calendar year
• D. One year after issue

Answer: (A)

Licenses expire on the anniversary of the licensing exam date. That means if you passed the exam on a given day, your license will expire on that same day every year, so renewal is due annually on that date. This creates a consistent renewal cycle for everyone who took the exam on the same date and avoids shifting dates that would happen if expiration were tied to birth dates, year-end, or the issuance date.
