Has anyone come encountered a situation whereby professional licensees are seeking to renew their respective licenses, however, the licensing authority is unable [due to physical plant problems which prevent access to computer databases and licensure information]to physically issue renewals at the present time? If so, how did you handle same?

What is being contemplated is the creation of a form stating that the licensing entity certifies that a particular individual has filed an renewal application with the licensing authority; that a presumption is being made that everything is in order until such time as the licensing authority can actually determine the validity of the licensure renewal application and its contents by reviewing its computer databases, etc.; and that the renewal applicant can continue to practice until a date certain or until the licensing authority finally makes a determination as to the renewal application; whichever occurs first. Thank you.
