(3) If an applicant meets the qualifications for receipt of a certificate of self-insurance, the director shall issue the applicant a formal certificate that indicates that status as a self-insurer is conferred. An original certificate of self-insurance will expire 1 year after the effective date of the certificate.
(4) A self-insurer may apply for a renewal certificate of self-insurance by submitting a complete renewal application 45 days before the expiration of the previously issued certificate. The renewal application must be accompanied by the documents required pursuant to the provisions of R 257.533(4). The director shall promptly review the renewal application and all supporting documents. Within 30 days after receipt, the director shall notify the applicant that the renewal application has been approved or denied.
