Current through Register Vol. 39, No. 2, July 15, 2024
(a) Board
				staff shall send a renewal and fee notice to a licensee 60 days prior to the
				expiration date at the licensees' last known contact address listed on
				licensee's online profile unless a person has advised the Board that he or she
				does not intend to renew the license. Pursuant to Rule .0603 of this Section,
				it is the responsibility of the licensee to keep the licensee's address current
				on the licensee's online profile on Board website,
www.ncbrtl.org
.
(b) Licenses issued shall be subject to
				renewal every two years and shall include documentation as required by Rule
				.0601 in this Section to support completion of continuing education
				requirements. The two-year cycle renews every two years on the licensee's birth
				month. A licensee must submit the documentation to NCBRTL postmarked or
				uploaded online on Board's website
www.ncbrtl.org
by the
				15th of the licensee's birth month.
(c) A licensee who is due for renewal and
				wants to submit required documentation received after the
				15th of licensee's birth month shall be given a
				grace period until the 30th of the birth month. The
				grace period allows the NCBRTL Board to review submitted documentation and
				contact the licensee for any additional information and corrections. This grace
				period allows a licensee to make any required corrections before the
				30th, when a license becomes lapsed. During a grace
				period, a licensee may attend conferences but must receive Board approval in
				order for the continuing education credits to count for licensee's current
				renewal documentation. Any licensee who applies to renew with a lapsed license
				(after the 30th) will be required to fill out a
				reinstatement application as stated in Rule .0701 of this Chapter.
(d) Each licensee shall complete and submit a
				renewal application, continuing education documentation and an updated color
				photo of the licensee, if the individual determines his or her appearance has
				changed since the last application. All materials shall be postmarked or
				submitted on his or her online profile on the Board website by the 15th of the
				licensee's birth month. If the renewal application and fee is not received or
				postmarked by the 15thof the licensee's birth month,
				the license shall expire on the 30th of licensee's
				birth month.
(e) First year
				licensees must complete a mandatory Compliance and Ethics Training offered by
				NCBRTL within their first year of issue date. Proof of attendance, given at
				training, must be included with Renewal application.
