II. A public adjuster license shall remain in effect unless revoked, terminated, or suspended as long as the request for renewal and fee set forth in RSA 400-A:29 is paid and any other requirements for license renewal are met by the due date.

However, a penalty in the amount of double the unpaid renewal fee shall be required for the issue of the new public adjuster license. The new public adjuster license shall be effective the date the commissioner receives the request or renewal and the late payment penalty.

VII. The license shall contain the licensee's name, business street address, mailing address, personal identification number, the date of issuance, the expiration date, and any other information the commissioner deems necessary. Licensees shall inform the commissioner by any means acceptable to the commissioner of a change of address within 30 days of the change.
