Registration Newsletter

Reminders

Message from the Editor:

Hello all. This edition of the Registration Newsletter will provide a reminder for the new OBN renewal timeline and reminders concerning preparation for renewal season, business information change requirements, and requirements to notify OBN if you no longer need your OBN Registration so we can properly close your account. 

Renewal Season
Renewal Season is only three months away! As stated in previous newsletters, renewal season will now open July 1st annually. 

Applications that are submitted in July and August are considered timely. Make sure to submit your application before September 1st so that it is a timely renewal. Timely renewals help ensure that your renewal is processed before the expiration date and that your OBN Registration remains active. 

If you renew in September or October, it is considered an untimely renewal. Untimely renewals risk becoming inactive after the expiration deadline if they are not processed prior to the deadline. Renewals that are not processed prior to the deadline will become inactive and cannot utilize any controlled dangerous substances for their work. Renewals submitted after the expiration date of October 31st will incur daily fines and be inactive until they are processed.

All unprocessed renewals and unsubmitted renewals will become expired after the expiration date on October 31st. 

Renewal Reminders
Prior to renewal season, make sure to log in ahead of time to verify that you can get into your account. Some registrants may not have accessed their account since last renewal season. It is best to ensure that you can log in so you can have a timely renewal when renewal season begins. 

Additionally, make sure that your registration is linked to your account. When you log in, your registration should be immediately visible on your dashboard. If it is not listed on your dashboard, nor under the renewal tab on the left hand navigation column, please contact obnddregistration@obn.ok.gov, so we can correct your account prior to renewal season and help you have a smooth renewal. 

Also, make sure that the information listed on your OBN registration matches your information provided to your respective licensing board. If the information does not match, it will further complicate your renewal, and you risk rejection of your renewal application. 

Warning: Renewal applications that are incomplete (the information does not match the information for your licensing board registration or there are required documents that are missing) will be rejected. If your renewal is rejected, you will have 30 days to fix the application and resubmit it. After the 30 days, the application will be permanently closed and will not be reopened for any reason. 

Business Information Changes
If your business information changes, including changes to the business name, address, or ownership, this will require a new application. 

OBN Registration Account Closure
If you no longer require your OBN registration account, please remember that you are required to notify us. Please do not wait for your registration to simply expire. 

As renewal season approaches, we will link training videos to these newsletters to assist with the renewal process. These videos can also be accessed on our YouTube channel, linked here, at any time.
