A registered dietitian nutritionist (RDN) in a state with a voluntary licensure law (title act with no scope of practice) opted to become licensed. She later failed to renew her license but continued to use the LD credential. The executive secretary of the licensure board became aware of the violation and reported it to the board members. A committee, appointed by the board chair to investigate, determined that the RDN had, in fact, filed a renewal application, but it was returned because of missing information. The RDN mistakenly thought she had sent in the missing information. During this same period, she moved, and the mailing disappeared. Choosing not to discipline the RDN, the licensure board instead decided to educate her about potential consequences related to the violation and reinstate her license after she provided the missing information
