Duplicate License Fee-a charge assessed for the replacement of a certificate.
Inactive Status-the fees charged to a veterinarian who wishes to retain a Louisiana license, but who has not met all of the requirements for active status and, therefore, is not entitled to practice veterinary medicine in the state of Louisiana. Inactive status licenses may be upgraded to active status by written request and payment of the differences between the fees.

Licenses issued in these months will be valid for the next immediate fiscal year.
