Why earlier is safer
- Some agencies take weeks to process renewals, and a pending renewal may not count as licensed.
- Inspections need to be booked and passed first.
- Late fees and reinstatement rules vary by city, county and state.
A simple checklist
- Confirm the expiry date on the license itself, not last year's invoice.
- Check whether the fee or form has changed.
- Collect supporting documents like insurance certificates.
- File, then save the confirmation with the license record.
