What must estheticians do if they change their address?

Estheticians are required to notify the South Dakota Cosmetology Commission within 30 days if they change their address. This requirement ensures that the commission has up-to-date contact information for all licensed professionals, which is crucial for communication regarding licensing, renewal, and other important matters related to their practice. Keeping the commission informed helps maintain regulatory compliance and promotes accountability within the profession.

Updating the address in the public registry or sending letters to clients may seem important for business communication and client relations; however, these actions do not fulfill the legal obligation set by the commission. Changing the license to a new state is unnecessary unless the esthetician intends to move permanently and practice in another state, which is not applicable to the scenario of simply changing an address.
