What is required of LPCs regarding their contact information?

Licensed Professional Counselors (LPCs) are mandated to maintain current and accurate contact information to ensure effective communication and compliance with regulatory standards. When there is a change in their contact details, LPCs are required to notify the Board within fourteen days to facilitate continued oversight and accountability in their practice. This prompt notification requirement supports the Board's ability to reach out to LPCs regarding important updates, renewals, or potential investigations, positioning LPCs as both compliant and responsible practitioners.

The options indicating a 30-day update or only yearly updates do not reflect the immediate necessity for accuracy in contact information, which could hinder the Board's ability to perform its regulatory functions effectively. Additionally, the suggestion that contact details need only be changed if moving to a new state ignores obligations that apply regardless of geographic moves. LPCs are expected to uphold their professional responsibilities continuously, which is why timely notification is emphasized.
