Kansas CPA License Reinstatement: What a Lapsed License Costs
If your Kansas CPA license has already lapsed
What it actually takes to get a lapsed Kansas CPA license back —
the fee, the catch-up CPE, and exactly what triggers "lapsed" in the first place. Sourced the same
way every fact on this site is: a board page plus the codified rule itself, never a guess.

Reinstatement Fee
$247.50
K.A.R. 74-12-1(e): $247.50 if more than one year remains in the current biennial period at application time, or $123.75 if one year or less remains.
Catch-Up CPE Required
- 40 CPE hours 40 hours of qualifying CE completed within the 12 months preceding the reinstatement application (K.S.A. 1-310(g)) -- half the normal 80-hour/2-year total, but concentrated into one year. These hours cannot also be counted toward the next renewal (K.A.R. 74-4-10).
- 2 ethics hours, within that total.

What triggers lapsed status: Permit expires biennially on the next July 1 after issuance/renewal. Late renewal is possible within 12 months of expiration; beyond 12 months, formal reinstatement (not simple late renewal) is required.

official state board before relying on this date. License
