## Chapter 63-03-01 — General Administration

### § 63-03-01-01. General administration.

Each licensedpodiatrist shall annually register and renew the podiatrist's license with the board and
pay such renewal fee as is set forth in this title. On or before December first of each year, the board
shall mail to each licenseholder, at the holder's last known address as it appears in the records of the
board, an application form on which to apply for renewal of the license. Each podiatrist shall complete
the application form and return it, together with the required renewal fee, along with satisfactory
evidence of completion of continuing education requirements40 , to the office of the board prior to the
next succeeding January first. Upon receipt of the renewal application and fee, the board shall provide
each practitioner with a renewal license specifying the period of time covered. The license renewal term
is twelve months beginning January first and ending December thirty-first. Applications received and
postmarked after January first of the year for which the license is being renewed will be returned for
addition of the delinquent renewal fee. A podiatrist must maintain at all times with the board a correct
mailing address for each of their offices to receive board communications and notices. A podiatrist who
has changed addresses must notify the board in writing immediately of each new address. A licensee
or permittee who has changed names must notify the board in writing as soon as possible and request
a revised renewal certificate and pay the replacement fee. The board may require substantiation of the
name change by requiring official documentation. Placing a notice in first-class United States mail,
postage prepaid and addressed to the licensee or permittee at the licensee's or permittee's last known
address, constitutes valid service.
