How is the renewal fee adjusted if a registration has been expired for more than 90 days but less than a year?

The renewal fee for a registration that has been expired for more than 90 days but less than a year is set at two times the regular fee. This adjustment is designed to encourage timely renewal and to ensure that those who do not renew within the prescribed timeframe are incentivized to keep their registration current. By doubling the regular fee, the regulation promotes accountability among registrants, emphasizing the importance of maintaining up-to-date credentials in the private security industry.

The adjustment aligns with regulatory practices in various fields where penalties or increased fees serve as a deterrent to non-compliance. This framework not only helps maintain a higher standard of practice within the industry but also aids in budgetary considerations for the overseeing agency.
