In the United States, voluntary surrender is when a licensee chooses voluntarily to surrender one's license or voluntarily agrees not to renew one's license, usually to resolve outstanding complaints instead of going through the process of revocation or suspension.[1][2] Voluntary surrender is often viewed as a proactive action and is considered to be more amiable than having the sanction of revocation or suspension on their record.[1]
