Section 1332 - Duplicate Certificates

A duplicate certificate may be issued to any licentiate who files the required fee therefor and submits an affidavit on a form provided by the division certifying to the loss or destruction of the original certificate. The duplicate certificate issued shall bear the same number and date of issuance as the original certificate and shall have the word "Duplicate" printed across the face thereof, together with the date the duplicate was issued. Any licensee whose name has been changed by court order or dissolution of marriage, the licensee shall attach a certified copy of the court record ordering the name change. At the time the change of name is requested, the original certificate of the licensee shall be returned to the office of the division so that an endorsement of the name change may be made on the division's records and a duplicate certificate issued. A photograph of the licensee taken within sixty (60) days must accompany the application and be affixed to the affidavit form provided by the division.
