A New Jersey producer whose license has been revoked must wait five years before applying for reinstatement or a new producer license. This is a disciplinary licensing rule, not the same as a simple late renewal or lapse. A late renewal may involve reinstatement procedures within a shorter period, but revocation is a formal enforcement action based on misconduct or disqualification. New Jersey Administrative Code Section 11:17D-2.7 states that a person whose producer license has been revoked may apply after five years from the effective date of the revocation order. That makes option A the only correct answer. The distractors of 3 years, 1 year, and 6 months are too short and confuse revocation with less severe licensing issues. For exam purposes, remember this as a hard-number rule: revocation = five-year minimum before reapplication. The applicant must also satisfy the professional qualification requirements when seeking reinstatement; the five-year waiting period alone does not guarantee approval.
