- (a) The department is entitled to rely on the mailing and electronic mail address currently on file for all purposes relating to notification. The failure to maintain a current mailing and electronic mail address with the department is not a defense to any action based on the registrant's or applicant's failure to respond.
- (b) Service upon the registrant or applicant of notice is complete and receipt is presumed upon the date the notice is sent, if sent before 5:00 p.m. by facsimile or electronic mail, and the department receives confirmation of the transmission. If the notice is received after 5:00 p.m. or on a weekend or holiday, it is considered received on the next business day. Receipt is presumed three days following the date sent, if by regular United States mail.
- (c) The department shall notify the applicant of the denial of an application for a certificate of registration or renewal application for a certificate of registration and the registrant of reprimands, suspensions, or revocations of certificates of registration by certified mail, return receipt requested.
