The Board may issue a provisional registration to an applicant pending receipt of the report from the Federal Bureau of Investigation if the Board determines that the applicant is otherwise qualified for registration.

3. Proof of the qualifications of any applicant must be made to the satisfaction of the Board and must be substantiated by affidavits, records or such other evidence as the Board may require.
