Why do we ask for email validation?

When renewal periods are about to begin for a board, licensees will receive an email that asks them to validate their email address. This process exists in order to ensure licensees receive communications, including renewal notices, in a timely manner. Once a licensee clicks on the link, they are redirected to our LLR Online Services where the validation is completed.

An example of this email is shown below:
