Renewal notice. The board
office will send a renewal notice by email to each registrant at the
registrant's last-known email address.

Registrants may renew their registration online or via paper application. Paper
application for renewal must be made in writing on forms provided by the board

Complete and timely filed
application. No renewal application shall be considered timely and
sufficient until received by the board office and accompanied by all material
required for renewal and all applicable renewal and late fees. Incomplete
applications will not be accepted. For purposes of establishing timely filing,
the postmark on a paper submittal will be used, and for renewals submitted
