Sec. 6. (a) A person shall register as a broker-dealer, agent, investment adviser, or investment adviser representative by filing an application and a consent to service of process complying with IC 23-19-6-11, and paying the fee specified in section 10 of this chapter and any reasonable fees charged by the designee of the commissioner for processing the filing. The application must contain:
(1) the information or record required for the filing of a uniform application; and
(2) upon request by the commissioner, any other financial or other information or record that the commissioner determines is appropriate.
(b) If the information or record contained in an application filed under subsection (a) is or becomes inaccurate or incomplete in a material respect, the registrant shall promptly file a correcting amendment.
(c) At the time of application for an initial registration as an investment adviser representative under this article, the commissioner shall require each applicant to submit fingerprints for a national criminal history background check (as defined in IC 10-13-3-12) by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, for use by the commissioner in determining whether the applicant should be denied registration under this chapter for any reason set forth in section 12(d) of this chapter. The applicant shall pay any fees or costs associated with the fingerprints and background check required under this subsection.
(d) If an order is not in effect and a proceeding is not pending under section 12 of this chapter, registration becomes effective at noon on the forty-fifth day after a completed application is filed, unless the registration is denied. A rule adopted or order issued under this article may set an earlier effective date or may defer the effective date until noon on the forty-fifth day after the filing of any amendment completing the application.
(e) A registration is effective until midnight on December 31 of the year for which the application for registration is filed. Unless an order is in effect under section 12 of this chapter, a registration may be automatically renewed each year by filing such records as are required by rule adopted or order issued under this article, by paying the fee specified in section 10 of this chapter, and by paying costs charged by the designee of the commissioner for processing the filings.
(f) A rule adopted or order issued under this article may impose other conditions, not inconsistent with the National Securities Markets Improvement Act of 1996. An order issued under this article may waive, in whole or in part, specific requirements in connection with registration as are in the public interest and for the protection of investors.
