37 Timing of application for renewal of local practising certificate

(1) An application for the renewal of a local practising certificate must be made within—

(a) the period prescribed by the regulations as the standard renewal period, or

(b) a later period prescribed by the regulations as the late fee period.

(2) Those periods must be within the currency of the local practising certificate being renewed.

(3) The appropriate Council may reject an application for renewal made during the late fee period, and must reject an application for renewal made outside those periods.

Section 39 authorises the charging of a late fee for applications received during the late fee period. If an application is rejected under subsection (3), the applicant will have to apply for the grant of a new practising certificate.
