        (b)     the person pays an additional prescribed fee for a late application for renewal.

    (3)     If a person's registration has expired without being renewed, the person is deemed to be registered for a period of 3 months after that expiry, and if, at the end of that period of 3 months, the person has not renewed his or her registration, the Board must remove that person's name from the register.
