I just called to get a renewal application....

[gregintenn]

...as mine expires May 4, 2013. The lady on the phone told me she couldn't send one until it was less than six months before the expiriation. One of us needs a math lesson.

[dralarms]

Yep, You can get it next month after the 4th. lol

[gregintenn]

Should be the 4th of November, no?

Nov4-Dec4=1 month
Dec4-Jan4=2 months
Jan4-Feb4=3 months
Feb4-Mar4=4 months
Mar4-Apr4=5 months
Apr4-May4=6 months

Did I do that wrong? Edited November 16, 2012 by gregintenn

Nope, but they can't count.

[Guest Travtastik]

Mine expires on that same day.

[Garufa]

I got a renewal form in the mail about 3 or so months before the date.

Calm down people. Edited November 17, 2012 by Garufa

I'm calm. I just find it frustrating that public servants can't count to 6. When these folks are in charge of your healthcare.....YOU GONNA DIE!!!!!!!

If I had waited for that one, I would have had to carry the acknowledgement letter around for a month in addition to expired HCP.

Probably because you are not in "the database".

Nice. I'm glad I've got exactly three years, five months and 28 days before I have to worry about this.

[gregintenn]

Why do they expire anyway? Why don't marriage licenses expire?

[Garufa]

Amen.

Because they won't accept it, it must be there multi part form.

But you can drop by the DMV and pick one up, fill it out and submit it all at be time.

Why couldn't you use the form you got in the mail?

[BlackHawk93]

Just call and tell them you want an application for a duplicate. They will then mail you an application.

Mine was up for the first renewal last August. A couple of months before that, I dropped in to the DMV and renewed it. I went to the one in Rockwood (one of the stations that is still on the list for doing carry permit related stuff.) You can imagine that office wasn't very crowded. I went in, was handed a form, filled it out, turned it in, paid my money, got my picture taken and walked out with the renewal receipt already in hand just in case the new card didn't arrive in time. The people who worked there were very nice and courteous. All told, it took [i]maybe[/i] fifteen minutes and I left with the peace of mind (because of the receipt in hand) that I was good to go for another four years. Edited December 3, 2012 by JAB

They said it had something to do with the Bar Code at the top, would not scan in the local offices. Also took about 1 1/2 hrs wait

[Bad_Bowtie]

I mailed in my renewal on Oct 27th and recieved my new permit in the mail today. I was gonna call this week to check on the status. Now I need to order a duplicate.
