21 NCAC 56 .0606             EXPIRATIONS AND RENEWALS OF CERTIFICATES

(a)  Professional Land Surveyor Licensure. An annual renewal fee of seventy-five dollars ($75.00) for certificates of licensure for Professional Land Surveyors is payable to the Board. The Board shall provide each Professional Land Surveyor a form that requires the licensee to provide to the Board the physical places of business and residential addresses, report compliance with continuing education requirements, and report criminal convictions or disciplinary actions. The licensee shall give notice to the Board of a change of business or residential address within 30 days of the change. The licensee shall give notice to the Board of any criminal convictions, including DWI but not including minor traffic offenses (offenses that are not a misdemeanor or felony) of any disciplinary actions in any jurisdiction on any license, within 30 days of the conviction or disciplinary action. A nolo contendere plea is equated to a conviction for reporting purposes.

(b)  Surveyor Intern Certificate. The surveyor intern certificate does not expire and, therefore, does not have to be renewed.

(c)  "Professional Land Surveyor, Retired." The Board shall approve the application for use of the title for a person who has been duly licensed as a Professional Land Surveyor by the Board, who chooses to relinquish or not to renew a license and has had no disciplinary action that would support a determination that the licensee is not of good character and reputation.
