What happens if a license is altered?

When a license is altered, it becomes invalid. This principle is in place to maintain the integrity and authenticity of licensing documents, ensuring that they accurately represent the qualifications and permissions granted to the individual or entity. Alteration could undermine the trust that regulatory bodies and the public place in the licensing system, making it crucial that any changes to a license are clearly documented and approved through the proper channels rather than being made unilaterally by the license holder. Consequently, a license that has been tampered with fails to fulfill its intended purpose and is not recognized as legitimate.
