Which statement about provisional FA licenses is accurate?

• A. Provisional licenses are issued without any license requirement
• B. Provisional licenses require annual renewal every year
• C. Provisional licenses must be accompanied by an annual license at all times
• D. Provisional licenses are valid indefinitely

Answer: (C)

Provisional licenses are temporary authorizations that work only while you also hold a current annual license. This setup ensures you’re always under a fully valid credential and in good standing as you move toward full licensure. Because of that, the rule is that a provisional license must be accompanied by an annual license at all times—if the annual license isn’t active, the provisional can’t be used. The other statements don’t fit because the process does involve a license requirement, the provisional itself isn’t a separate annual renewal, and provisional licenses aren’t meant to last indefinitely.
