  any  license  required  under this subchapter or for any renewal thereof
  shall be made to the commissioner in such form and manner as he  or  she
  shall  prescribe  by regulation. An applicant for any such license shall
  be fingerprinted by the department for the purpose of securing  criminal
  history  records  from  the state division of criminal justice services.
  The applicant shall pay a  processing  fee  as  required  by  the  state
  division  of  criminal  justice  services. Where the applicant is a sole
  proprietorship, fingerprints shall be taken of the owner thereof.  Where
  the  applicant  is  a  partnership,  fingerprints  shall be taken of the
  general  partners  thereof.  Where  the  applicant  is  a   corporation,
  fingerprints  shall be taken of the officers, principals, directors, and
  stockholders owning more than ten percent of the  outstanding  stock  of
  the corporation. Any person required to be fingerprinted hereunder shall
  furnish  to  the  department  three current passport size photographs of
  such person. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the  commissioner  need  not
  require  applicants  for  licenses  required under this subchapter to be
  fingerprinted if criminal history records concerning such applicants are
  not available from the state division of criminal justice services.

  of facts as the commissioner  shall  require,  with  a  fee  of  fifteen
  dollars per license, at the department, and the department shall issue a
  duplicate or substitute license.
