(c) Any registrant whose registration has expired may have his
or her certificate of registration restored at any time within 5 years
after its expiration, upon payment of the required fee.
(d) Any person whose registration has been expired for more than
5 years may have his or her registration restored by making application to the
Department and filing proof acceptable to the Department of his or her fitness to
have his or her registration restored, including sworn evidence certifying to
active lawful practice in another jurisdiction, and by paying the required
restoration fee. A person using the title "registered interior designer" on an expired
registration is deemed to be in violation of this Act.
(e) If a person whose certificate of registration has expired has not
maintained active status in another jurisdiction, the Department shall
determine, by an evaluation process established by rule, his or her fitness to

evaluated practical experience, and may require successful completion of
an examination.
(f) Any person whose certificate of registration has expired while he or she
has been engaged (1) in federal or State service active duty, or (2) in
training or education under the supervision of the United States
preliminary to induction into the military service, may have his
or her registration restored without paying any lapsed renewal or restoration fee
if, within 2 years after termination of such service, training or
education, he or she furnishes the Department with satisfactory proof that he or she has
been so engaged and that his or her service, training, or education has been
so terminated.
(g) An individual applying for restoration of a registration shall have 3
years from the date of application to complete the application process. If
the process has not been completed in 3 years, the application shall be
denied and the fee forfeited. The applicant may reapply at any time.
