What must a licensee provide to the board when absent from Florida due to military duties?

A licensee must provide documentation of their absence and the spouse's military status to the board when absent from Florida due to military duties. This requirement is established to ensure that the board is aware of the licensee's situation and can consider it in relation to any licensure requirements or deadlines that may be affected by the military service.

This documentation serves as a verified explanation of the circumstances leading to the absence, reflecting the unique consideration given to military personnel and their families. It helps maintain the integrity of the licensing process while also accommodating the special situations that military service can create.

Other options, such as providing proof of licensure in another state, a military ID, or a personal letter, do not fulfill the specific requirement set forth by the board regarding the documentation needed to support the absence due to military duty. The focus is particularly on the formal documentation of the absence and the spouse's status, rather than just identification or personal accounts, thus highlighting the formalities involved in maintaining good standing while serving in the military.
