What should you do if your waxing license is lost or destroyed?

If your waxing license is lost or destroyed, the appropriate course of action is to apply for a duplicate license and pay the stated fee. This ensures that you remain compliant with state regulations and can continue to work legally within the field. Maintaining an active and valid license is critical, as it not only demonstrates your qualifications but also protects you and your clients.

Applying for a duplicate also allows you to quickly resolve the situation, ensuring that you do not experience unnecessary interruptions in your ability to work. The option to ignore the situation or to wait for a possible return would leave you in a vulnerable position, potentially risking penalties or non-compliance. Reporting it to the police may be unnecessary unless you believe the license was stolen, as this does not address the immediate need to obtain a replacement to continue working legally.
