What is the deadline to surrender the original license after permanent closure of a pharmacy?

• A. 5 days
• B. 30 days
• C. 10 days
• D. 20 days

Answer: (C)

When a pharmacy closes permanently, the license to practice at that location must be surrendered to the Board within 10 days. This tight window ensures the board can promptly cancel the license, update their records, and prevent any mistaken assumption that the license remains active for that site. The original license certificate should be returned to the Board as part of this surrender so there’s clear documentation that the facility has ceased operations. Other time frames aren’t the mandated limit in this situation, so the 10-day deadline is the standard to follow.
