				F.A.C., with the required renewal fee, to the address indicated on the form.
				Renewal by either format must be submitted before the expiration date of the
				license. Renewal forms can be obtained from the Department through the
				licensee's secure online account at

				Electrolysis Council Office at (850)245-4373.
(5) Pursuant to Section
				456.025(7),
				F.S., The Department has implemented an electronic continuing education
				tracking system, which is integrated into the licensure renewal system. Through
				this integrated system, each licensee's completion of the required continuing
				education hours is verified prior to renewal of the license. The Department
				will not complete a licensee's renewal until the required hours are
				verified.
(6) Failure to renew the
				license by the expiration date will result in the license becoming delinquent.
				A licensee holding a delinquent license cannot practice electrolysis until
				renewal of the delinquent license to active status is completed. In order to
				renew a delinquent license, the licensee must submit the required renewal fee,
				the delinquency fee, and proof of completion of the required continuing
				education.
(7) Failure to comply
				with the continuing education requirement shall prohibit renewal of licensure
				and result in the license being placed on delinquent status. Licensure may be
				renewed in accordance with the provisions of this chapter only upon completion
				of the 20 hour continuing education requirement. Hours earned to complete the
				20 hour continuing education requirement for renewal of delinquent licensure
				may not be used toward the 20 hour requirement for the next biennium.
(8) If renewal of the delinquent license is
				requested during the one hundred and twenty (120) day renewal period prior to
				the rendering of the license null and void, the licensee must submit forty (40)
				hours of continuing education as set forth in Rule
				64B8-52.003, F.A.C.
(9) Failure to renew the delinquent license
				to either active or inactive status by the expiration date of the current
				renewal period shall render the license null and void without further action of
				the Council or Department.
