Section 7:3A-3.12 - License certificate retention and replacement

(a) A licensed tree expert or licensed tree care operator shall retain his or her license certificate throughout the period of licensure. If the licensee is employed by a registered business, the licensee shall allow the business to display his or her license certificate at the office location where he or she is assigned. However, if the licensee is no longer employed at the location, the certificate shall be retained by the licensee as he or she leaves.

(b) A license number and the license certificate containing such license number issued by the Board, though conferred on a licensed tree expert or licensed tree care operator for his or her period of licensure, remain the property of the State of New Jersey. If the Board suspends, refuses to renew, or revokes an individual's license, the individual shall return the license certificate to the Board within 30 days of his or her receipt of written notice of the Board's decision and shall remove the license number from all advertising and anywhere else the license number is displayed or otherwise communicated. Failure to comply with this requirement shall subject the individual to civil administrative penalties as set forth at N.J.A.C. 7:3A-9.6(a).

(c) The Board shall issue a duplicate certificate to a licensed tree expert or licensed tree care operator upon receipt by the Board of an affidavit or certified statement in which the licensee attests that the original was either lost, destroyed, mutilated, or is otherwise no longer in the custody of and cannot be recovered by the licensee.
