Which item is not typically required for renewal of a dental hygiene license in Louisiana?

• A. Renewal application
• B. Fees
• C. Evidence of continuing education
• D. A notarized personal biography

Answer: (D)

Renewal focuses on staying current in practice: updating information, paying the required fee, and proving ongoing competence through continuing education. In Louisiana, you would normally submit the renewal form, remit the renewal fee, and provide evidence of continuing education to meet the license period’s requirements. A notarized personal biography is not part of the standard renewal package; it doesn’t serve the purpose of renewing licensure and is more typically associated with initial licensure or special credentialing. So, the notarized personal biography is not typically required for renewal.
