What term is used for independent contractor registrations and freelance licenses that are not renewed?

The term used for independent contractor registrations and freelance licenses that are not renewed is "Expired." When a contractor or freelancer does not renew their license or registration, it typically reaches a state where it no longer holds validity. An expired registration means that the individual is no longer authorized to operate legally until they take the steps necessary to renew or reactivate the license.

The term "inactive" could imply a status that is temporarily suspended but not necessarily expired; an inactive license may still have the potential to be activated again without additional requirements. "Dormant" generally refers to accounts or services that are not presently in use but could be reactivated, which suggests a possibility of renewal without the formalities associated with an expired status. "Suspended" implies a temporary halt in activities due to specific reasons, which also does not align with the finality of not renewing a registration. In this context, using "expired" conveys the complete cessation of legal standing for operation due to the lack of renewal.
