(3) A registrant with delinquent (lapsed) registration has the following options for obtaining an active registration with the Board:

(a) If registration is not renewed or reinstated within five (5) years of the last renewal due date, then the registration expires. The individual cannot renew an expired registration but can apply for a new registration subject to current Board registration requirements.

(b) If the registrant takes action to renew within five (5) years of the last renewal due date, then the renewal is subject to the requirements of (4) or (5) of this rule based on the date the renewal requirements are fulfilled.

(4) If a registrant fails to renew a registration by the renewal date but completes the renewal requirements within sixty (60) days of the renewal due date, the following apply:

(5) Reinstatement is required if the renewal is completed more than sixty (60) days after the renewal date but within five (5) years of the last renewal due date (i.e., the reinstatement period).

(a) Submit a written request for reinstatement to the Board explaining why the registration renewal was late;

(b) Submit documentation of continuing education completion as required in OAR 804-025-0015(3) and pass a continuing education audit; and

(c) Pay all fees required by the Board (i.e. renewal fee and late fee for each year registration was delinquent (lapsed)).
