Which of the following best describes a reissuance request for a license?

A reissuance request for a license refers specifically to a procedure that occurs when there is a change of name, requiring the real estate license to be updated to reflect accurate information. This process typically involves submitting a request to the appropriate regulatory authority to issue a new license that bears the new name, thereby ensuring that public records and the credentials of the license holder are current and valid.

In contrast, a new license application is not a reissuance request but a complete process to obtain a license for the first time. An amendment to the existing license involves changes to specifics on the current license, such as an address change or updating business details, but it does not necessarily involve a name change. A routine update of records suggests a regular check or adjustment of information without the specific context of a reissuance, which focuses on the need to officially change the name associated with a license.
