Section R4-34-201. General

A.      An administrative review of the application shall be performed within five business days of receipt of an application. The Deputy Director shall issue a conditional license within 14 business days of the Department’s receipt of the completed license application and written evidence that the applicant has passed any required license examination. The five day admin- istrative completeness and 14 day substantive review time-

frames provide an overall time-frame of 19 days excluding time requirements that are the responsibility of the applicant.

B.       Corporate applicants shall submit a copy of the articles of incorporation, and all amendments to the articles filed with the Arizona Corporation Commission, or, if a foreign corporation, the application for authority to transact business.

C.      When a retailer or installer licensee changes its legal entity but remains within the scope of the license and retains the same qualifying party, the licensee may request an exemption from any applicable testing requirement, provided the license is in good standing.

D.      Upon receipt and review of the applicant’s criminal back- ground analysis by the Deputy Director of the Office of Administration, and upon mailing notification to the applicant, the previously issued conditional license is automatically effective as a permanent license to transact business within the scope of the license.
