What happens to an Independent Contractor Registration after one year?

An Independent Contractor Registration may become dormant after one year, meaning it is no longer active but not entirely invalid. This process occurs as a way to keep records current and to ensure that active contractors remain compliant with any necessary requirements. Dormancy allows for a grace period during which the contractor may still reactivate their registration by fulfilling any necessary conditions or obligations.

This is a practical approach for regulatory bodies to manage contractor registrations and ensure they are up-to-date, without completely removing the contractor from the registration system. In contrast, options regarding invalidation, automatic renewal, or transferability do not align with the typical protocols for independent contractor registrations.
