What must be done if documents signed by a licensee are altered?

When documents signed by a licensee are altered, they are considered invalid. This is because alterations can compromise the integrity of the document, leading to questions about its authenticity or the intentions of the signatory. The very act of altering a signed document is seen as a potential tampering, which nullifies the original legal standing of the document. Maintaining the validity of signed documents is crucial, especially in fields that require strict compliance, such as those governed by licensing laws.

For the other options, revalidation or the need for a new signature may seem logical, but they can’t restore the validity of a document that has already been altered. Similarly, submitting altered documents for review does not change their invalid status, as the initial alteration has already compromised their legal effectiveness. Therefore, the only appropriate conclusion when a licensed document has been altered is that it becomes invalid in its entirety.
