PURPOSE: This rule establishes the period and expiration of registration, the process of applying for registration, and information required to complete an application for registration.

1. (1) Period of Registration.

   1. (A) Any registration, except a re-registration, shall be current and effective for 36 months from the date issued or until the expiration date assigned at the time the registration is issued. A re-registration shall be current and effective for 36 months from the expiration date of the previous registration, provided that the application for re-registration was received prior to the expiration of the previous registration. No person who is required to be registered shall conduct any activity for which registration is required without a current registration.
   2. (B) At the time any registration is issued, the registration shall be assigned to one of 12 groups which shall correspond to the months of the year. The expiration date of all registrations within any group shall be the last day of the month designated for that group.
   3. (C) Registrations for manufacturers and distributors may be assigned to a single group, and the expiration date may be less than 36 months from the date the registration was issued.
   4. (D) Temporary location registrations and training program registrations may be assigned to a single group, and the expiration date may be less than 12 months from the date the registration was issued.
   5. (E) A certificate of registration shall be provided to the registrant which shall include the name and address of the registrant, the expiration date of the registration and a registration number for the convenience of identifying a registration or a registrant. The same registration number may be used for a new registration for the same person.

2. (2) Application for Registration.

   1. (A) Any person who is required to be registered and who is not so registered may apply for registration at any time. No person required to be registered shall engage in any activity for which registration is required until the application for registration is processed and the registration is issued.
   2. (B) Applications for registration shall be on forms designated by the Department of Health, and are incorporated into this rule by reference as follows: Form MO 580-2322. Application forms may be requested from the Missouri Department of Health, P.O. Box 570, Jefferson City, MO 65102-0570.
   3. (C) An application form containing the original signature of the applicant must be provided to the Department of Health with any required fee.
   4. (D) An application which does not contain or is not accompanied by the required information or fee may be denied 60 days after notifying the applicant of the deficiency.
   5. (E) An application may be withdrawn by making a written request to the Department of Health.
3. (3) Application Information. All applicants shall make full, true and complete answers on the application. The Department of Health may require an applicant to submit documents or written statements of fact relevant to the application as considered necessary to determine whether the application should be granted. The failure of the applicant to provide these documents or statements within 60 days after being requested to do so shall be considered to be a waiver by the applicant of an opportunity to present these documents or facts for consideration in granting or denying the application.
