2309.2 A holder of a license shall meet all of the requirements for license renewal prior to the issuance of the renewal.

Upon renewal, the holder shall be deemed to have possessed a valid license during the period between the expiration of the license and its renewal.

2309.6 If a licensee fails to renew his or her license within sixty (60) days after its expiration, the license shall be deemed to have lapsed on the date of expiration and the holder shall be required to apply for reinstatement of the expired license pursuant to D.C.
