     4. If a certificate of registration has expired and the registrant desires to continue to perform the acts requiring a certificate of registration, the registrant must apply to the State Fire Marshal for an original certificate of registration and pay the full fee for certification. The State Fire Marshal may require the applicant to be retested.
