An LLC or corporation seeking renewal of the certificate shall submit a completed renewal application, a copy of the current annual report filed with the Division of Revenue in the New Jersey Department of Treasury and the renewal fee as set forth in 13:40-6.1 prior to the expiration date of the license.

(b) The Board shall send a notice of renewal to each certificate holder at the address registered with the Board at least 60 days prior to the expiration of the certificate. If the notice to renew is not sent at least 60 days prior to the expiration date, no monetary penalties or fines shall apply to the certificate holder for failure to renew.

(c) If a certificate holder does not renew the certificate prior to its expiration date, the certificate holder may renew the certificate within 30 days of its expiration by submitting a completed renewal application, a copy of the current annual report filed with the Division of Revenue in the New Jersey Department of Treasury, and the renewal fee and late fee as set forth in N.J.A.C. 13:40-6.1. During this 30-day period the certificate shall be valid, and the certificate holder shall not be deemed to be engaged in unauthorized practice.

An LLC or corporation, other than a professional service corporation established pursuant to the Professional Service Corporation Act, P.L. 1969, c. 232 (14A:17-1 et seq.), that provides or advertises professional engineering and/or professional land surveying services while its certificate of authority is suspended shall be in violation of 45:8-56.
