If your registration has been expired for over one year, what must you do?

When a registration has been expired for over one year, the correct procedure typically involves reapplying rather than simply renewing the registration or waiting for notifications. This process often requires the individual to submit a new application, which may include meeting current qualifications, providing updated documentation, and potentially adhering to any new regulations or requirements that have been put in place since the original registration was issued.

In many jurisdictions, there are strict timelines governing the renewal of licenses and registrations. If the expiration exceeds a certain period, such as one year, the governing body may require a complete reapplication process instead of a straightforward renewal, which is generally available for more recent expirations. This underscores the importance of keeping registrations current and being aware of the stipulations regarding lapses.

While renewing online and attending a renewal class might be options available for those with more minor lapses in registration, for expirations over one year, the expectation is to restart the process with a new application. Thus, reapplying is necessary to ensure compliance with current standards and regulations.
