(e) The name of each state in which the applicant holds or has held a taxidermist license or permit to perform taxidermic services;

(h) The applicant's signature and the date on which he or she signed the application.
2. A taxidermist license issued by the Department pending the issuance of a federal permit to perform taxidermic services on:
(a) A migratory bird that is protected by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, as amended, 16 U.S.C. §§ 703 et seq.; or
(b) A species of wildlife that is listed as threatened or endangered by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service, is not valid for the purposes of performing taxidermic services on the migratory bird or the endangered or threatened species until the federal permit has been issued by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service to the licensee.
3. A completed application and required fees must be submitted to the Department.
4. An annual taxidermist license expires on June 30 of each year. On the earlier of the date that the taxidermist submits his or her application for the renewal of a taxidermist license or June 30, the taxidermist shall, pursuant to NAC 502.455, submit to the Department the taxidermist's records for the previous licensing year. If an application for the renewal of a taxidermist license is not received by the Department on or before June 30, taxidermic items in the possession of a taxidermist shall be deemed to be unlawfully possessed and are subject to seizure by the Department, and the taxidermist will be considered to be practicing taxidermy without a license. If an application for the renewal of a taxidermist license is received by the Department on or before June 30, the license will remain in effect until the Department completes its review of the application and renews or denies the application to renew the taxidermist license.
