A registration or certification that is delinquent for failure to pay the renewal fee will remain in “delinquent” status until all delinquent fees that are due, and the required renewal fee, are paid.(b)
A registration or certification that is delinquent for failure to submit verification of having timely completed the required continuing professional development hours, when such hours have been completed, will remain in “delinquent” status until the delinquent fee is paid and the verification is submitted.(c)

Registrations in the delinquent status for a period of 5 years or more due to suspension or a refusal to renew shall not be renewed. After a registration has been delinquent for 5 years or more due to suspension or a refusal to renew, the delinquent registrant must apply for a new certificate of registration.
