§ 21.24. Renewal procedure.
(a) A certified agent may renew his initial certification for an additional 5 year period on a form supplied by the Commissioner. A completed application for renewal of agent certification must be accompanied by two recent color photographs and a renewal fee. Renewal application must be made within 6 months prior to the expiration of the current certification. The necessary application form will be forwarded by first class mail to the renewal applicant’s last known address at least 8 months prior to the expiration of the current certification. Certified agents who fail to apply for a renewal of their certification prior to the expiration thereof, must make application under § 21.13 (relating to initial application procedure). Expired certification cards are void.
