INACTIVE LICENSURE STATUS
An inactive license is specifically for those practitioners who are in active practice elsewhere. A license may be placed in formal inactive status upon application to the Board and payment of 75% of the current active fee. A practitioner may only place their license in Inactive Status if it is currently in good standing with the board, is current in fees, and is not the subject of current disciplinary or investigative activity. More information regarding the requirements for converting to an inactive status can be found in Minnesota Administrative Rule 2500.2020.
The potential benefits of an inactive status are the reduced fee, and the forbearance of any continuing education requirements for any renewal of the inactive status. However a doctor of chiropractic MAY NOT provide chiropractic services in the State of Minnesota while on Inactive status. Inactive Licenses must be renewed annually. NOTE: SPECIAL PROVISIONS PERTAINING TO A WAIVER OF SUCH REQUIREMENTS FOR MILITARY PERSONNEL WHO ARE, OR HAVE RECENTLY BEEN, ACTIVELY DEPLOYED MAY BE FOUND AT 326.55 and 326.56
An application for INACTIVE STATUS may be acquired by clicking on the link, or calling the board office at (651) 201-2850.
Reinstatement of the INACTIVE license to an ACTIVE license is established in Minnesota Rule 2500.2040 and has some additional requirements such as letters of good standing in the other jurisdiction where the doctor is currently licensed to practice, submission of a reinstatement fee, and proof of continuing education while practicing elsewhere. Please see the full text of the above rule.
If you are currently in INACTIVE status, and wish to reinstate to an ACTIVE status, an application may be acquired by clicking on the link, or calling the board office at (651) 201-2850.
A voluntarily retired license is intended for those persons who have no intention of practicing in Minnesota any longer. There is no fee required and there is no requirement for continuing education. However, making this choice must be considered carefully since, if the doctor of chiropractic changes their mind, there may be significant cost and continuing education requirements for reinstatement. Additionally, if the license is retired for more than five years by a practitioner who has not been practicing elsewhere, they will need to retake the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners Part IV Practical Examination. A review of the entire rule, (2500.2100 - 2500.2110) including the reinstatement provisions of Minn. Rule 2500.2110 is essential to considering this choice.

DOCTOR OF CHIROPRACTIC EMERITUS STATUS
A Doctor of Chiropractic-Emertius status is intended for those persons who have practiced for many years, and have retired their license in all jurisdictions. There is no fee required and there is no requirement for continuing education. However, making this choice must be considered carefully since, if the doctor of chiropractic changes their mind, there may be significant cost and continuing education requirements for reinstatement. Additionally, after three years, along with other requirements they will be required to take the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners Special Purposes in Chiropractic Examination. A review of the entire rule, (2500.2115 to 2500.2130) including the reinstatement provisions of Minn. Rule 2500.2130 is essential to considering this choice.
