289: Duty to produce evidence of being licensed
or “Licensed builders must show proof of their licence when asked, or they could be fined.”
You could also call this:

“A licence stays valid until it's cancelled or suspended.”

Your licence stays valid until it is cancelled or suspended. This means that once you get a licence, you can keep using it unless someone takes it away or stops you from using it for a while. You don’t need to worry about your licence expiring on its own.
