What is the renewal fee if the application is submitted 90 days late?

The renewal fee for an application submitted 90 days late is set at 1.5 times the standard renewal fee. This structure is designed to encourage timely renewals while still allowing individuals who may have missed the deadline an opportunity to reinstate their credentials without facing excessive penalties. The tiered fee system establishes a framework where the cost increases with the length of the delay, reflecting a balance between promoting compliance and affording some flexibility to applicants. Thus, if an application is submitted after the 90-day grace period but within the prescribed timeframe for late submissions, the correct financial penalty is indeed 1.5 times the normal renewal fee.
