Title 485 - ALABAMA STATE BOARD OF REGISTRATION FOR INTERIOR DESIGN
Chapter 485-X-3 - REGISTRATION FOR INTERIOR DESIGNERS
Section 485-X-3-.04 - Reinstatement Of Certificates And Seals

(1) Reinstatement of certificates and seals will be required for any certificate that has lapsed for whatever reason; or which has been suspended or revoked through disciplinary action.

(2) A registered interior designer requesting reinstatement of a lapsed certificate must complete a reinstatement application; submit the reinstatement fee; renewal fee; proof of meeting current continuing education requirements established by the board; and a sworn affidavit that no submission of sealed documents has occurred during the time a certificate was invalid. The Board shall review or authorize the Office Administrator to review the application and authorize approval of the application for reinstatement. Should the application or record reflect disciplinary history or unsatisfactory responses to questions on the application, the Board will conduct a further review of the application and render a decision regarding eligibility for registration. If approved, the same registration number will be reissued. New certificates for framing will not be issued unless a written request is made and a replacement fee is received.

(3) A registered interior designer requesting reinstatement of a suspended or revoked certificate may do so after a 6-month waiting period from the date of original suspension or revocation. The applicant must complete a reinstatement application; submit the reinstatement fee and renewal fee; proof of meeting current continuing education requirements established by the board, and a sworn affidavit that no use of titles or seals reserved for registered interior designers has occurred during the period of suspension or revocation. The Board shall conduct a review of the application and render a decision regarding eligibility for registration. The board shall not reinstate Certificates of Registration which have been suspended or revoked through disciplinary action to any individual who has not satisfied all monetary fines or assessments and any other conditions of any final order of the board. If reinstatement is approved, the same registration number will be reissued. New certificates for framing will not be issued unless a written request is made and a replacement fee is received.
