Regulation 8 Duration and renewal of certificates

Changes not yet applied. Later legislation changes this provision in ways not yet written into the text below:

(1)

A certificate of registration shall, unless previously revoked, expire at the end of the period of five years beginning with the date on which it was granted or the date from which it was last renewed, as the case may be.

(2)

A certificate which has not been revoked may, on the application of the holder of the certificate, be renewed by the licensing authority for five years from the date on which it would otherwise expire.

(3)

An application for renewal of a certificate shall be made, in writing, no later than three months before the date of expiry of that certificate.

(4)

The provisions of regulation 5 of these Regulations shall apply in relation to applications for the renewal of certificates of registration as they apply to applications for such certificates and any reference in that regulation to the grant of or the refusal to grant a certificate shall be construed as a reference to its renewal or to a refusal to renew it, as the case may be.
