If a State licensed or certified real estate appraiser fails to renew his license or certificate prior to its expiration, the appraiser may obtain a license or certificate by satisfying all of the renewal requirements and paying the renewal and late renewal fees, provided that application for the issuance of a new license or certificate is made within one year of the expiration date of the last license or certificate held by the appraiser.
