Revocation (License)

Definition: Disciplinary cancellation of a license by the licensing authority, removing the authority granted by that credential.

Example

A final disciplinary order revokes a broker's license after established serious misconduct.

Keep the distinction clear

Revocation is more than a temporary suspension or voluntary inactive status. Do not assume that waiting a set time automatically restores the license.
