Every licensed architect, landscape architect and registered interior designer shall pay to the Board a fee as prescribed by the rules of the Board. Upon receipt of the fee the Board shall issue a renewal of the license or registration, which shall authorize the person to practice architecture, landscape architecture or use the title registered interior designer, as the case may be, in this state. The license of an architect or landscape architect or the registration of a registered interior designer which has been canceled by the Board for nonpayment of dues may be renewed at any time within three (3) years from the date of the cancellation, upon payment to the Board of the fees which had accrued at the time of the cancellation and which would have been paid at the time of reinstatement had not the license or registration been suspended, together with payment of the amount of penalties which may have been prescribed by the Board. If a license or registration remains canceled for a period exceeding three (3) consecutive years, it shall not be reinstated unless the licensee or registrant has taken or submitted to a test or a quiz or a Board review or an examination as the circumstances of the individual case may warrant and as may be prescribed by the Board in order to determine continued competency of the licensee or registrant. A partnership, firm, association, corporation, limited liability company or limited liability partnership shall pay to the Board the fee prescribed and in the manner provided by the rules of the Board for the renewal of the certificate of authority or certificate of title for such partnership, firm, association, corporation, limited liability company or limited liability partnership.
