Certificate applications require proof of secretary of state registration, street addresses, federal and state tax identification numbers, and a list of employees with executed criminal history consent forms from each employee

Certificates expire no later than two years from issuance, after which entities must reapply

The commissioner may revoke certificates if the entity provided false information, was ineligible at the time of issuance, or misused public funds
