What must be submitted by the applicant to renew their certification?

To renew their certification, an applicant is required to submit a complete renewal application along with the applicable fees. This process ensures that the individual's qualifications and status are updated and verified before the certification is extended. The renewal application typically includes confirmation of compliance with any ongoing education requirements and addresses any changes in the applicant's professional circumstances. Submitting both the application and fees is essential to maintain the integrity of the certification process and ensures that all practitioners meet the necessary standards to provide legal document preparation services.

In contrast, other options do not align with the established renewal requirements. A mere submission of the renewal application without fees would not complete the process, as fees are essential for processing. Similarly, submitting only fees or requiring a new application instead of a renewal application fails to meet the specific guidelines set for certification renewal, which aim to streamline the renewal process while ensuring adherence to professional standards.
