The Certificate of Registration issued will expire at the end of the year it is issued. It is the applicants responsibility to renew the registration before January 1st of each year. No renewal notice or reminder will be sent by the state. You may obtain a copy of the application for registering your credit services organization, and read a copy of the law to learn important information on additional requirements.
