(a) The Board shall send an annual notice to each person who must pay a fee that is due annually. Each annual notice shall be sent to the intended recipient's current address of record. Every annual fee must be paid regardless of whether an annual notice is received.
(b) Every Registrant must pay his/her annual renewal fee on or before the designated expiration date of the Registrant's certificate of registration.

A person whose certificate of registration has expired may not engage in activities that require registration until the certificate of registration has been renewed.
(c) If a Registrant fails to renew his/her certificate of registration within 2 years after its designated expiration date, the certificate of registration shall be cancelled by operation of law without the opportunity for a formal hearing. The Board shall send a notice of pending cancellation to a Registrant who fails to renew his/her certificate of registration within 2 years after its designated expiration date. The notice shall be sent to the Registrant's current address of record.
