(c) If the certificate holder does not renew the certificate prior to its expiration date, the certificate holder may renew it within 30 days of its expiration by submitting a renewal application, a renewal fee and a late fee, as set forth in 13:43-6.1.

(d) A certificate that is not renewed within 30 days of its expiration shall be automatically suspended. An individual who continues to practice with a suspended certificate shall be deemed to be engaged in unlicensed practice.
