Which statement about provisional FA licenses is accurate?

• A. They last for six months
• B. They must be accompanied by an annual license at all times
• C. They require no renewal
• D. They are valid indefinitely

Answer: (B)

Provisional licenses are temporary permissions that exist only while the full annual license is also active. They’re meant to bridge toward full licensure, not to stand alone. Because of that, the provisional FA license must be paired with an annual license at all times to stay valid. If it were limited to a fixed period, could be used without the annual license, or lasted indefinitely, it would contradict the requirement that ongoing licensure relies on maintaining the annual license in force.
