Iowa Admin. Code r. 661-121.10
Each applicant for a license renewal must execute Form #PD3 provided by the department. This renewal form and two completed FBI Fingerprint Cards (Form #FD-258) shall be submitted to the commissioner not less than 30 days prior to expiration of the applicant's current license and shall not be processed unless complete. In order for the application to be complete, the applicant must satisfy the requirements of rules 661-121.4 (80A), 661-121.5 (80A), and 661-121.7 (80A) and, for renewals of private investigation licenses, 661-121.22 (80A).
In the event the department has not processed a complete renewal application prior to the lapse of the license, the renewal shall be deemed temporarily granted until the department issues a new license or denies the renewal.
In no event will a renewal license be granted if the application for renewal is received by the department after the expiration date of the existing license.
If the former licensee wishes to continue the bail enforcement, private investigative or private security business, all of the requirements for an initial application must be met.
