Oklahoma CPA License Reinstatement: What a Lapsed License Costs

If your Oklahoma CPA license has already lapsed

What it actually takes to get a lapsed Oklahoma 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

$125

Flat $125 fee applies only if reinstatement is sought within the first year after revocation/cancellation (OAC 10:15-27-10). If more than 1 year has passed, the fee instead equals the accumulated registration/permit fees for the lapse period, capped at $5,000 by 59 O.S. Sec15.14.

Catch-Up CPE Required

Formula: 40 CPE hours for each calendar year an exemption was claimed or CPE went unreported, capped at 120 hours total (OAC 10:15-30-9) -- catch-up to the normal 120-hour/3-year requirement, not hours in excess of it.

Source of record OAC 10:15-27-10 (Reinstatement fee); 59 O.S. Sec15.14 (Expiration and Renewal, automatic-revocation trigger and fee ceilings); OAC 10:15-23-1 (lapse trigger) read the rule →

What triggers lapsed status: An individual license must renew by the last day of the holder's birth month; it is considered lapsed the day after that deadline. It is then automatically revoked if fees remain unpaid within 30 calendar days after expiration. A certificate revoked 5+ years may not be renewed or reinstated at all.
