Under TBCE guidelines, when should a licensee update their contact information?

• A. At the next annual renewal.
• B. Only when required by the board.
• C. When the license is suspended.
• D. Promptly to ensure notices are received.

Answer: (D)

Keeping contact information current is essential so the board can send notices, renewal reminders, disciplinary actions, and other important communications to the licensee. Updating promptly whenever contact details change ensures you receive these notices without delay and preserves your opportunity to respond or comply in time. Waiting until the next renewal could mean missed deadlines or miscommunications, and changing only when the board requires or only when a suspension occurs doesn’t reflect the ongoing duty to stay reachable. So, promptly updating contact information is the right practice.
