New York Watch, Guard, or Patrol Agency (WGP) License Practice Exam

Within how many hours must a license certificate be surrendered after expiration or revocation?

1. 24

2. 48

3. 72

4. 96

The correct answer is: 72

After a license certificate expires or is revoked, it must be surrendered within 72 hours. This is important to ensure that the individual is no longer able to use their expired or revoked license to conduct business or practice in a certain field. Option A is incorrect because 24 hours is too short of a time period for an individual to be able to locate and surrender their license. Option B is also incorrect because 48 hours is still not enough time for the individual to properly follow the necessary steps to surrender their license. Option D is also incorrect as 96 hours is a longer time period than 72 hours and could potentially lead to a longer period of time where the individual may still be able to use their license. Therefore, option C is the most suitable answer.
