While you are employed by a FINRA-registered firm, your Series 7 license will remain valid indefinitely. However, if you are terminated from your job at a FINRA-registered firm, your license will remain valid for two years after the termination date.
You can extend the validity of your Series 7 license for up to five years beyond the termination date by participating in the Maintaining Qualifications Program (MQP) and completing annual continuing education (CE) requirements.
