For each course taken, the report shall include a certificate of course completion that is signed by at least one course instructor, states the name of the licensee or registrant who completed the course, states the date of course completion, and states the number of hours taken by the licensee or registrant. Credit shall not be given if a certificate of course completion is dated more than two years from the license or registration permit renewal date. Each course instructor shall maintain a course roster and shall verify the identity of each participant by a government issued photo identification, such as a driver's license. This roster shall be delivered to the Board's office within two weeks of the completion date of the course.

(b)  All online applications for renewal of a license or registration permit shall have CE Certificates uploaded, verifying completion of the required number of credit hours. If an applicant is filing an application designated as "new" and the applicant has been licensed or registered for any period of time within the previous two years, the applicant shall upload CE Certificates verifying completion of the required number of credit hours. An applicant shall not be required to submit a CE Certificate if the applicant is filing an application designated as a "transfer" or "duplicate" and if the applicant has a current registration card issued by the Board.
