Ga. Comp. R. & Regs. R. 360-35-.03 - Renewal Requirements
(1) All licenses shall expire biennially
unless renewed.
(2) Each licensee
shall notify the Board within thirty (30) days, in writing, of all changes of
address. Any mailing or notice from the Board shall be considered to be served
on the licensee when sent to the licensee's last address on file with the
Board.
(3) All active licenses must
be renewed every two years. This may be done via the internet or through mail.
A licensee may not practice after the expiration date of the license. A license
must be renewed biennially by the last day of the month in which the
applicant's birthday falls, and the licensee must establish satisfaction of
Board-approved continuing education requirements to be eligible for
renewal.
(4) Licensees have the
right to obtain a late renewal of their licenses during the three (3) month
period immediately following the expiration date. During this period, the
penalty for late renewal applies. A licensee may not practice after the
expiration date of his or her license.
(5) The Board shall administratively revoke
any license not renewed prior to the expiration of the late renewal period. In
order to obtain a license after revocation for failure to renew, an applicant
must reapply for a new license and meet the requirements in effective at the
time of the application.
(6)
Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (4) of this rule, any service
member as defined in O.C.G.A. §
43-1-31 whose license to practice as a cosmetic laser practitioner expired while on
active duty outside the state shall be permitted to practice in accordance with
the expired license and shall not be charged with a violation relating to such
practice on an expired license for a period of six (6) months from the date of
his or her discharge from active duty or reassignment to a location within the
state. Such service member shall be entitled to renew such expired license
without penalty within six (6) months after the date of his or her discharge
from active duty or reassignment to a location within this state. The service
member must present to the Board a copy of the official military orders or a
written verification signed by the service member's commanding officer to waive
any charges.
(7) The fee for
renewals and late renewals shall be designated in the fee schedule.
(8) All applicants must provide an affidavit
and a secure and verifiable document in accordance with O.C.G.A.
50-36-1(f).
If the applicant has previously provided a secure and verifiable document and
affidavit of United States citizenship, no additional documentation of
citizenship is required for renewal. If the applicant for renewal is not a
United States citizen, he/she must submit documentation that will determine
his/her qualified alien status. The Board participates in the DHS-USCIS SAVE
(Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements or "SAVE") program for purpose
of verifying citizenship and immigration status information of non-U.S.
citizens. If the applicant for renewal is a qualified alien or non-immigrant
under the Federal Immigration and Nationality Act, he/she must provide the
alien number issued by the Department of Homeland Security or other federal
agency.
