When is a new license required according to regulations?

A new license is required when there is a change in the class of a license or if there is a failure to renew. The licensing landscape is governed by strict regulations, and a change in the class of a license indicates a significant alteration in the scope or type of services offered, which necessitates a reassessment of qualifications and compliance with regulatory standards. Additionally, failing to renew a license by its expiration date also requires obtaining a new license because it signifies that the licensee is no longer authorized to operate under the previous licensing conditions.

While expanding a business or moving to a new location may require notifying regulatory bodies or may involve other administrative tasks, these actions do not inherently necessitate a new license unless they affect the class or legal status of the service being rendered. Changing internal policies typically does not trigger licensing requirements either, as these are considered operational decisions rather than changes to the actual licensing framework established by the regulatory authorities.
