To renew a scrap metal dealer license, the licensee must first obtain a renewal form from the Department. The licensee must complete the renewal form and submit a renewal fee in the amount of One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) to the Department. Upon receipt of the renewal application and fee, the Department shall conduct a national criminal history record check and investigate any other records or information deemed by the Department to be relevant to the renewal of the scrap metal dealer license.
