The license or registration shall accompany the notification along with the fee as prescribed in Section 9 of this Act, and, upon receipt, a replacement will be issued by the Department. (e) All licenses and registrations issued under this Act shall expire on December 31 of the year issued, except that an original license or registration issued after October 1 and before December 31 shall expire on December 31 of the following year. A license or registration may be renewed by filing with the Department a completed renewal application form as prescribed by rule, including payment of the fee as prescribed in Section 9 of this Act, and may be postmarked no later than the December 1 preceding the date of expiration.
