(a) Issuance of licenses and certificates.--All applicants who have complied with the requirements of the board and who have passed a final examination and who have otherwise complied with the provisions of this act shall receive from the commissioner, or whoever exercises equivalent authority acting for the board, a license or certificate entitling them to the right to practice in this Commonwealth. Each such license or certificate shall be duly recorded in the office of the board, in a record to be properly kept for that purpose which shall be open to public inspection, and a certified copy of said record shall be received as evidence in all courts in this Commonwealth in the trial of any case.

(b) Renewals.--It shall be the duty of all persons now or hereafter licensed or certified to be registered with the board and, thereafter, to register in like manner at such intervals and by such methods as the board shall determine by regulations, but in no case shall such renewal period be longer than two years. The form and method of such registration shall be determined by the board.

(c) Fees.--Each person so registering with the board shall pay, for each biennial registration, a reasonable fee which, if any, shall accompany the application for such registration.

(d) Evidence of registration.--Upon receiving a proper application for such registration accompanied by the fee, if any, above provided for, the board shall issue a certificate of registration to the applicant. Said certificate together with its renewals shall be good and sufficient evidence of registration under the provisions of this act.
