Section VE 2.12 - Renewal of certification A certificate expires if not renewed by January 1 of even-numbered years. A certificate holder who allows the certificate to expire may apply to the board for renewal of the certificate as follows:
(1) If the certificate holder applies for renewal of the certificate less than 5 years after its expiration, the certificate shall be renewed upon payment of the renewal fee and late fee and fulfillment of 15 hours of continuing education required under s. VE 2.14 completed before the certificate renewal.(2) If the certificate holder applies for renewal of the certificate 5 or more years after its expiration, in addition to requiring the certificate holder to pay the renewal fee and late fee, and to fulfill the continuing education hours required under s. VE 2.14 completed before the certificate renewal, the board shall inquire as to whether the applicant is competent to practice as a veterinary technician in this state and shall impose any reasonable conditions on renewal of the certificate including reexamination, as the board deems appropriate. An applicant under this subsection is presumed to be competent to practice as a veterinary technician in this state if at the time of application for renewal the applicant holds a full unexpired certificate issued by a similar licensing board of another state or territory of the United States or of a foreign country or province whose standards, in the opinion of the board, are equivalent to or higher than the requirements for certification in this state. Notwithstanding any presumptions of competency under this subsection, the board shall require each applicant under this subsection to pass the examination specified under s. VE 2.04(2).(3) The certificate holder shall pay a nonrefundable renewal fee of $160.(4) A certificate holder who submits a certificate renewal after January 1 of even numbered years shall pay, in addition to the renewal fee under sub. (3), a nonrefundable late fee of $25.Wis. Admin. Code Veterinary Examining Board VE 2.12
