Tenn. Comp. R. & Regs. 0460-04-.06 - REGISTRATION RENEWAL

(1) Renewal application

(a) The due date for registration renewal is the last day of the month in which a registrant's birthday falls pursuant to the Division of Health Related Boards "birthdate renewal system" contained on the renewal certificate as the expiration date.

(b) Methods of Renewal

1. Internet Renewals - Individuals may apply for renewal and pay the necessary fees via the Internet. The application to renew can be accessed at:

www.tennesseeanytime.org

2. Paper Renewals - For individuals who have not renewed their registration online via the Internet, a renewal application form will be mailed to each individual registered by the Board to the last address provided to the Board. Failure to receive such notification does not relieve the registrant from the responsibility of meeting all requirements for renewal.

(c) A registration issued pursuant to these rules is renewable by the expiration date. To be eligible for renewal an individual must submit to the Division of Health Related Boards on or before the expiration date the following:

1. A completed renewal application form.
