HAR §11-25-8. Issuance and renewal of certification

(a) Once the applicant has satisfied certification requirements, and upon receipt of the certification or renewal fee, the board shall approve the certification within five months. For certification, the board shall issue a certificate and identification card; for renewal, the board shall issue a new identification card. The board shall issue certificates and cards within one month after it approves certification. For applicants who pass the examination, the initial certification fee is included in the examination fee. (b) The certificate indicates the operator grade and date the certification was issued. The identification card indicates the grade and expiration date of the certification period. The certification expiration date is at least one full year from the issuance date. The certificate itself cannot represent certification unless a current identification card is produced to substantiate certification. The certificate shall be prominently displayed at the applicant's principal work station. 25-16 B276 ad
