An application for the renewal of a certificate or registration shall be made on a form provided by the board and shall be filed no later than the expiration date set by this section. An application is not considered filed until the applicable fee is received.
An applicant for renewal of a certificate under SDCL chapter 36-20 B shall list in the application any state in which the applicant has applied for or holds a certificate or a permit as a CPA and shall list any past denial, revocation, or suspension of a certificate or permit by any other state.
Any application for renewal of certificates shall be accompanied by evidence satisfactory to the board that the applicant has complied with the continuing professional education requirements under SDCL 36-20B-27 and chapter 20:74:04.
Any license not renewed and which has not been surrendered to the board, is deemed to have expired. Any individual desiring to renew an expired license shall comply with the requirements of this section. The applicant shall pay all applicable fees and penalties for late filing for each year the license was expired.
An application for renewal must be received by the board by August 1 or must be postmarked by August 1. An application completed on the internet must be submitted on or before 11:59 p.m. central time on August 1, to be considered on time. The fee for annual renewal submitted on time is $50. The fee for annual renewal submitted late is $100.
An application for renewal is considered late if the continuing education requirement has not been met and an extension has not been granted. Failure to receive a renewal notice does not constitute an adequate reason for failing to renew the certificate in a timely manner.
The fee to replace a certificate lost or destroyed for any reason or to change a name is $25. The fee must accompany the application for an individual certificate, renewal of a certificate, or request for replacement of a certificate.
