§ 7506.9. Upon the issuance of the initial registration, reregistration, or renewal, the ch

(a) Upon the issuance of the initial registration, reregistration, or renewal, the chief shall issue to the registrant a suitable pocket identification card. At the request of the registrant, the identification card may include a photograph of the registrant. The photograph shall be of a size prescribed by the bureau. The card shall contain the name of the licensee with whom the registrant is registered. The applicant may request to be issued an enhanced pocket card that shall be composed of durable material and may incorporate technologically advanced security features. The bureau may charge a fee sufficient to reimburse the department for costs for furnishing the enhanced pocket card. The fee charged may not exceed the actual cost for system development, maintenance, and processing necessary to provide the service, and may not exceed six dollars ($6). If the applicant does not request an enhanced card, the department shall issue a standard card at no cost to the applicant. (b) Until the registration certificate is issued or denied, a person may be assigned to work with a temporary registration on a secure form prescribed by the chief, and issued by the qualified certificate holder, for a period not to exceed 120 days from the date the employment or contract commenced, provided the person signs a declaration under penalty of perjury that he or she has not been convicted of a felony or committed any other act constituting grounds for denial of a registration pursuant to Section 7506.8 (unless he or she declares that the conviction of a felony or the commission of a specified act or acts occurred prior to the issuance of a registration by the chief and the conduct was not the cause of any subsequent suspension or termination of a registration), and that he or she has read and understands the provisions of this chapter. (c) The chief shall issue an additional temporary registration for not less than 60 days nor more than 120 days, if the chief determines that the investigation of the applicant will take longer to complete than the initial temporary registration time period. (d) No person shall perform the duties of a registrant for a licensee unless the person has in his or her possession a valid repossessor registration card, a hardcopy printout or electronic copy of the bureau’s approval from the bureau’s Internet Web site, which may include an easily legible electronic screenshot of that information, or evidence of a valid temporary registration or registration renewal as described in subdivision (b) or (e) of this section or subdivision (f) of Section 7506.10. Every person, while engaged in any activity for which licensure is required, shall display his or her valid pocket card, as provided by regulation. (e) A person may work as a registrant pending receipt of the registration card if he or she has been approved by the bureau and carries on his or her person a hardcopy printout or electronic copy of the bureau’s approval from the bureau’s Internet Web site, which may include an easily legible electronic screenshot of that information, and a valid picture identification.
