1. A pharmacy technician must register with the board of pharmacy on an annual basis.

2. The pharmacy technician will be assigned a registration number.

3. The board of pharmacy must provide the pharmacy technician with an annual registration card and pocket identification card.

4. The pharmacy technician certificate and annual registration card, or copy thereof, must be available or on file in the pharmacy where the pharmacy technician is employed.

5. The pharmacy technician must wear a name badge while in the pharmacy which clearly identifies the person as a "pharmacy technician".

6. Pharmacy technicians shall identify themselves as pharmacy technicians on all telephone conversations while on duty in the pharmacy.

7. The northland association of pharmacy technicians shall appoint annually three of their members as an advisory committee to the board of pharmacy.

8. Every registered pharmacy technician, within fifteen days after changing address or place of employment, shall notify the board of the change or make the necessary update on the board's website. The board shall make the necessary changes in the board's records.

9. A pharmacy technician having passed the reciprocity examination of the national association of boards of pharmacy, or any other examination approved by the board, shall be granted reciprocity and shall be entitled to registration as a registered pharmacy technician in North Dakota.

10. A pharmacy technician registered by the board may use the designations "registered pharmacy technician" and "R. Ph. Tech.".

11. A pharmacy technician holding a certificate of registration as a pharmacy technician in North Dakota may go on inactive status, and continue to hold a certificate of registration in North Dakota, provided that the technician on inactive status may not practice within North Dakota. A pharmacy technician on inactive status will not be required to meet the continuing education requirements of the board under chapter 61-02-07.1. In order for a pharmacy technician to change an inactive status registration to an active status of registration, the pharmacy technician must complete ten hours of approved pharmacy technician continuing education and thereafter comply with the continuing education requirements of the board. Evidence of current certification by a national certification body approved by the board of pharmacy meets this requirement.

13. Provisional registration for a member of the military or military spouse as defined in North Dakota Century Code section 43-51-01.

a. A provisional registration may be granted upon application for registration if the individual holds a registration or license as a pharmacy technician in another state and has worked under such license or registration for at least two of the last four years.

b. This provisional registration must be without fee until one year after the first renewal period has passed. This allows a maximum of two years without payment of a registration or renewal fee.

c. If the applicant does not meet all the criteria for registration under North Dakota laws or rules, the applicant must complete those qualifications before the applicant's provisional registration period expires to continue registration.
