21 N.C. Admin. Code 25 .0205 - RENEWAL OF A PROVISIONAL LICENSE
(a) An
application for the renewal of a provisional license is not timely filed unless
it is received by the Board on or before the expiration date of the license
being renewed.
(b) If a licensee
does not timely file an application for the renewal of a provisional license,
the licensee shall not practice or offer to practice as an interpreter or
transliterator for a fee or other consideration, represent himself or herself
as a licensed interpreter or transliterator, use the title "Licensed
Interpreter for the Deaf," "Licensed Transliterator for the Deaf," or use any
other title or abbreviation to indicate that the person is a licensed
interpreter or transliterator until he or she receives either a renewed
provisional license, as described in Paragraph (c) of this Rule, or an initial
full license as described in
21 NCAC
25 .0204.
(c) An application to renew an expired
provisional license shall be approved by the Board if it is received by the
Board within one year after the provisional license expired and if the
application demonstrates that the applicant continues to qualify for a
provisional license, by meeting the requirements of
G.S.
90D-8. A provisional license shall not be
renewed after it has expired a second time.
(d) If the provisional license being renewed
has been suspended by the Board, any renewed provisional license issued to the
applicant shall also be suspended until the term of the suspension has
expired.
(e) The Board shall renew
a provisional license no more than three times upon receipt of timely
applications that demonstrate that the applicant continues to qualify for a
provisional license. The Board may extend a provisional license on an annual
basis after the third renewal if the applicant timely files an application
prior to the expiration of the third renewal, and on an annual basis thereafter
if further extension is sought by the applicant that demonstrates that the
applicant's progress toward full licensure was delayed by:
(1) a life-altering event, such as the birth
or adoption of a child to the applicant or the applicant's spouse or an acute
or chronic illness suffered by either the applicant or a member of the
applicant's immediate family;
(2)
active military service;
(3) a
catastrophic natural event, such as a pandemic, flood, hurricane, or tornado;
or
(4) the certifying organizations
identified in
G.S.
90D-7 having imposed a moratorium on testing
or certification that has prevented the applicant from sitting for the
qualifying examination and obtaining the results thereof prior to the
expiration of the provisional license or any annual
extension.
(f) The Board
shall not for any reason renew or extend a provisional license for a fifth
time, with the exception of servicemembers who qualify for an extension under
Paragraph (h) of this Rule.
(g) The
Board shall not issue an initial provisional license to anyone who has
previously held a provisional license.
(h) The Board shall extend the deadline for
filing a license renewal application for any individual who currently holds a
provisional license and is in good standing with the Board if the individual is
serving in the armed forces of the United States and if
G.S.
105-249.2 grants the individual an extension
of time to file a tax return. The extension shall be in effect for any period
that is disregarded under Section 7508 of the Internal Revenue Code in
determining the taxpayer's liability for a federal tax.
