(1) all unpaid renewal fees; and
(2) a fee that does not exceed the initial fee for the certificate or license.

The individual or organization may obtain a new registration certificate or license by complying with the requirements and procedures for obtaining an initial registration certificate or license.

(g) If a renewal application is not complete but there has been no lapse in the required insurance, the applicant is entitled to 30 days from the date that the applicant is notified by the department of the deficiencies in the renewal application to comply with any additional requirement. If an applicant fails to respond and correct all deficiencies in the renewal application within the 30-day period, the department may charge a late fee.
