(1) The registration fee shall be an appropriate fee established by the board. Each applicant shall register with the board upon a form furnished by the board before January 31 of the year the license is due for renewal. Renewal forms postmarked by the post office February 1 or after will be considered delinquent, however, should January 31 fall on a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, renewal forms postmarked by the post office on the next business day will not be considered delinquent.

(2) The failure to provide the application form or the failure to receive the renewal application form does not relieve any licensee of the duty to renew the license and pay the renewal fee, nor shall it exempt any licensee from the penalties provided in sections 334.650 to 334.685, RSMo, for failure to renew.

(3) Prior to renewal of the license, licensees may be required to take and pass a test administered by the board on the laws and rules related to the practice of physical therapy in Missouri. A minimum score of seventy-five percent (75%) is required to pass the examination.

(4) Licensees must submit written notification of any address change to the board within fifteen (15) days of such occurrence.
