What must a certificate holder do after receiving a notice of denial?

When a certificate holder receives a notice of denial, the appropriate action to take is to submit a written request for a hearing. This step is crucial because it allows the individual to formally contest the decision made by the licensing authority. Requesting a hearing demonstrates the certificate holder's intention to seek a review of the denial. It also ensures that they have the opportunity to present their case, potentially providing evidence or arguments that support their application or address the reasons outlined in the denial notice.

This process aligns with the procedural protections typically afforded to individuals under administrative law, allowing for a structured environment where grievances against administrative decisions can be aired and evaluated. Engaging in this process can lead to a reevaluation of the circumstances surrounding the denial, which may ultimately result in a favorable outcome for the applicant.

Submitting a written request for a hearing is the established protocol and emphasizes the importance of navigating the administrative avenues available for dispute resolution, ensuring that certificate holders can actively participate in the process.
