DMV HCP Renewal

[willis68]

I live in Mt Juliet, I am now in the six month period before my permit expires. I ordered the forms Online several weeks ago, they have never shown, with the flooding the city had that is very understandable

What is the best DMV for me to do this relatively close to Mt Juliet?

I have used the one in Lebanon and Gallatin with good results. It was over six months

for my renewal to come back. This way you will have a copy of it if needed. Make sure you take proof of US citizenship. Better yet call to see exactly what you need to bring.

Do you have the option to do it online? Or by mail? I sent mine in by mail with the renewal check 2 months before it expired. They sent me a receipt with a temporary permit in case my new one didn't come in less than a week. I got my new permit in 3 weeks. Good luck

That is about the fastest that I have heard of so far. Mine expires next year so I'm watching threads about renewals. I don't remember how long my first one took but now I'm hearing that they can really be a long wait.

I wish they would go to an online renewal.

I thought that it was 6 months. If that's right you should do it ASAP in case it does take a while. I'm sure someone else will know for sure.

I guess I was right.
