New Hampshire CPA License Reinstatement: What a Lapsed License Costs

$201 per N.H. Code Admin. R. Plc 1002.01, Table 1002.1 -- the SAME figure as a normal on-time renewal fee; the rule does not impose a separate, higher fee for reinstating a license lapsed 1 year or less. If lapsed more than 1 year, the licensee must reapply as a brand-new initial applicant (same $201 fee, but the full initial-licensure process).

• No extra or prorated catch-up CPE hours are required to reinstate a license lapsed 1 year or less for non-renewal (Ac 401.08) -- only the standard renewal application package and a work-history resume covering the lapse period. (A different, separate path -- returning to active practice from voluntary inactive status -- does require 80 hours of CPE including 4 ethics hours regardless of duration; that is not the same as reinstating a lapsed license.)

Sourcing note: The board's own oplc.nh.gov page blocks automated access, so this fact could not be freshly re-confirmed by an automated check at publish time -- content was instead confirmed directly against New Hampshire's official codified Code of Administrative Rules (gc.nh.gov), reading the actual current rule and fee-table text. Recommend a manual check of the board's page if you want it confirmed firsthand.
