If an application for the issuance of a real estate Transaction Specialist Identification Card is made together with an application for the transfer of a registration in a case as prescribed in the preceding paragraph, the post-transfer prefectural governor must issue a real estate Transaction Specialist Identification Card for which the period up to the expiration of the period of validity of the real estate Transaction Specialist Identification Card as provided for in the preceding paragraph is to be treated as the period of validity.
If a registration as provided for in Article 18, paragraph (1), is deleted or a real estate Transaction Specialist Identification Card ceases to be effective, a real estate transaction specialist must promptly return said real estate Transaction Specialist Identification Card to the prefectural governor that issued said real estate Transaction Specialist Identification Card.
If a real estate transaction specialist is subject to disposition by suspension under Article 68, paragraph (2) or (4), said specialist must promptly submit their real estate Transaction Specialist Identification Card to the prefectural governor that issued said real estate Transaction Specialist Identification Card.
A prefectural governor who has received a real estate Transaction Specialist Identification Card that was submitted pursuant to the provisions of the preceding paragraph must promptly return said real estate Transaction Specialist Identification Card, if a request for the return thereof is received from the submitting party in a case in which the period of prohibition as provided for in the same paragraph expires.
