Application for a renewal shall be upon a form prescribed by the board and

the architect shall furnish the information required by the form.

(b) Failure of any architect to secure his or her renewal certificate within sixty

license, that person shall not be known as a licensed architect and shall desist from

the practice of architecture. Within five (5) years from the time of surrender of the

license, the person may again qualify for a license without examination by the

payment of the required fee and current renewal fee. If five (5) years thereafter have
