All renewal applications must be completed using the Internet based renewal form including:

· License renewal application Form;

· Affidavit Form;

· Continuing Education Reporting Schedule (brokers/processors only);

· Renewal Reporting Schedules (Calendar Yr 2008 operating data);

· On-Line payment method for all renewal fees and outstanding fines.

PAYMENTS: Payment will be accepted by credit card or bank draft (ACH) ONLY. Please follow the instructions on the screens. Regarding ON-LINE payments, the following information is provided:

In the event that the draft payment for your FY2010 license renewal fee from the financial institution does not contain sufficient funds, or the credit card charge is rejected by the credit card issuer, then:

· Your application will be considered as NOT having been filed.

· You must reenter the system and access your application and provide a different means of payment.

· Reentry must be completed by the April 1st, 2009 deadline or a $300 late fee will be assessed (see information below).

Applicants will be notified by e-mail if the payment is returned / rejected.

Please make certain that your e-mail address is correct when you complete the on-line application.

Incorrect e-mail addresses are NOT the responsibility of the Department and you will be responsible for any late renewal fines.

LATE FILINGS: If you have attempted but been unable to utilize this on-line system, please contact the Department for instructions. HARD COPY FORMS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. Failure to request assistance in a timely manner will not prevent the assessment of the late fee if the deadline has passed.

FY2010 Renewals must be completed on-line by midnight, April 1, 2009, or they are considered late and the licensee/registrant will be fined $300 in addition to the renewal fee. Any renewal request filed after the deadline will be worked in order of receipt and pooled with new applicants in the priority of application processing as time permits. No assurance is offered that review will be completed prior to the license expiration date of June 30th. The late fine will be reflected on-line with your renewal forms and must be paid before a license renewal can be granted.

Renewal Links will be available beginning in 2009, along with a link to review the questions on the Renewal Reporting Schedules PRIOR TO entering the data on-line.
