Renewal of licenses and registrations

1. Licenses and registrations issued by the board expire on September thirtieth of each year. 2. Every individual or agency who previously held a license or registration issued by the board and whose license or registration has expired may have the same restored immediately upon payment of all lapsed renewal fees and any applicable late fees; provided, however, that not more than sixty days has elapsed since the date of expiration, and provided that the individual or agency has not provided private investigative or private security services during the time in which the license or registration was expired. 3. This section does not relieve any person from criminal prosecution for engaging in practice or providing services without a license as required by North Dakota Century Code chapter 43-30. Once a license or registration has lapsed, the individual or agency who held the license or registration may not provide private investigative or private security services until the license or registration is renewed or until a new license or registration is issued. 4. Any individual or agency who fails to renew a lapsed license or registration and who fails to pay all lapsed renewal fees and late fees within sixty days of the expiration date must reapply for a new license or registration and meet all the requirements for licensing or registration, including a state and nationwide criminal history record check.
