Ala. Admin. Code r. 100-X-2-.10 - Renewal Of Registration

(1) The Board shall have the power to set renewal fees and fees for late payment. The Board shall issue renewal notices to each registered architect from the previous year to the last known address. Failure to receive a renewal reminder from the Board shall not constitute an excuse for failure to renew licensure. Registration term is for the calendar year which begins January 1 and ends December 31. Renewals postmarked January 1 through March 31 will be considered late, and those renewals must include the late penalty established by regulation. All renewals must reflect completion of the current continuing education requirements established by the Board unless otherwise exempted. No provision is made for partial payment for a partial year. Renewal fees are due on or before December 31 of each year. If the registrant elects to renew his or her license electronically, the registrant may be charged a convenience fee or surcharge. If renewal is not completed on or before March 31, the architect's registration will lapse and must be reinstated, as required by regulation. Persons providing architectural services under a lapsed or expired license shall be subject to disciplinary action by the Board.

(2) For the purpose of attracting architects to the State of Alabama, the initial renewal fee for in-state registrants licensed by examination may be waived by the Board if funding allows.
