Reinstatement of an expired license: renewal fee plus $20 per license if reinstated within 30 days of expiration, or plus $50 per license if reinstated after 30 days and within two years (these reinstatement amounts come from DOPL's standard renewal/reinstatement forms and are consistent across professions; the cosmetology renewal page itself notes only that late fees apply without restating the dollar amounts).
