Homeless Bus Driver What is the difference between Certificate Renewal and Certificate Registration? The renewal process involves teachers who have actively taught in public schools in the 5-year cycle. After the certificate is renewed it must then be registered. The renewal form (73-98) and registration form (73-10)may be turned in to the ROE at the same time, even though the processes are separate.
