What must a licensee do to place their license on inactive status when ordered into military service?

To place a license on inactive status when ordered into military service, a licensee must send a written statement to the department. This requirement ensures there is formal documentation of the request, which can help maintain clear records and facilitate the management of licenses during the period of military service. A written statement is a standard procedure for such requests, as it provides physical evidence of the notice and can include necessary details regarding the military service activation.

The other options do not fulfill the required process established by Arizona Insurance Laws. A verbal request lacks the necessary formality and does not provide documented evidence of the request. Paying a fee to maintain inactive status is not a requirement while in military service, as state laws often provide protections for service members that can include waiving fees during such times. Providing proof of military service is essential for verifying the status of the individual, but it is the act of sending a written statement that formally initiates the request for placing the license on inactive status.
