  recertification as a state certified real estate appraiser, or a renewal
  of license as a state licensed real estate appraiser, the  holder  of  a
  current, valid certificate or license shall make application and pay the
  prescribed  fee  to  the  department not earlier than one hundred twenty
  days nor later than thirty days prior to  the  expiration  date  of  the

  appraiser or state licensed real estate appraiser shall present evidence
  in  the  form  prescribed  by  the  department  of  having completed the
  continuing education requirements, if any, for renewal specified in this
  article.
    b. If the department determines that an applicant has failed  to  meet
  the  requirements  for  renewal  of  certification  or licensing through
  mistake, misunderstanding or circumstances beyond  the  control  of  the
  applicant,  the  department  may  extend  the term of the certificate or
  license for a period not to exceed  six  months,  upon  payment  by  the
  applicant of the prescribed fee for the extension.
    c.  If the applicant satisfies the requirements for renewal during the
  extended term of certification or license, the beginning date of the new
  renewal certificate or license shall be the day following the expiration
  of the certificate or license previously held by the applicant.

  estate  appraiser, or license as a state licensed real estate appraiser,
  prior to its expiration or within a period of extension granted  by  the
  department   pursuant   to   this  article,  the  person  may  obtain  a
  recertification  or  renewal  of  license  by  satisfying  all  of   the
  requirements for renewal and by the payment of a late renewal fee.
    3. The license of a state licensed real estate appraiser assistant may
