(3) Company certification, qualifying agent license, and alarm employee registration renewal notices shall all be mailed to the last known business address ninety (90) days prior to the expiration date of the license, certification, or registration. Such renewals must be received in the office of the Commissioner thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of such certification, license, or registration. (4) The Commissioner shall notify every company certificate holder, qualifying agent licensee, and alarm employee registrant by mail to the last known business address of the date of expiration of such certificate, license, or registration and the fee required for its renewal for two (2) years. (5) Applications for renewal of the company certification shall list all persons required to be licensed or registered in accordance with T.C.A. § 62-32-312(a).
