How long to renew license?
« on: May 10, 2022, 02:20:29 PM »

Yesterday, I renewed my license using the FCC links. I filled out the form, received notice that my application had been accepted and paid the $35 by credit card. My status of "This license expires soon" has not been changed on the FCC database.  I realize that I am being paranoid, but I wonder how low long it takes for my license renewal to be processed.

Stephen,

Your application was entered on 09/May/2022 and the status is "Granted." Your license expires August 2022. You should see a status change long before that. Sit back and enjoy your hobby.

I used "on line" renewal before they charged fees. ( Is that in effect yet?).
It was a 24 hour turn around!

KK5XU,

Renew your license through the Universal Licensing System (ULS) at any time within 90 days of the expiration date for the license and up to two years after the license expires.

But remember, if your licensed has expired, you cannot (legally) operate until the renewal has been processed.

I looked today and the renewal went through. Now all I have to do is live another 10 years.  :)

Thanks to all who replied and especially to those who reassured.

K5YE thanks for the information. I'm not due until next year. I wasn't sure how early I could renew. Don't want to miss it. Both my Wife and I will need to renew in 2/11/23
