License Renewal Notice Example

Renewing Your License On- line You may getting one of these reminders that your license is about to expire. As the bottom of the notice says, “please detach the bottom portion of this notice and mail it with your payment.” Well in a world with fully staffed offices, that would be great. This notice was dated 41 days in advance so there should be plenty of time for you to use the mail; however, the HVACR office is not fully staffed. The office is overworked and always under pressure, so let ’ s help out and RENEW ON LINE. There is no reference to online renewal on your notice but it exists and will make your life so much better. It is Easy and Really Quick — maybe two to three minutes and the proof of renewal is immediate.

We’ll walk you through the process and you’ll see why even those of us that have been around for a while will love the opportunity to renew and have evidence of the renewal in a few minutes. Beats the heck out of the mail or pleading with the HVACR office for help. They can only do so much. OK! First and super important. You cannot renew online unless you are doing so in the month that the renewal is due. In the above example, the expiration is May 31. You cannot renew online before May 1. Some kind of strange coding in the program and there

is no announcement on your renewal notice. If you get the notice in the month before it is due and jump to renew, you’re out of luck and don’t know why. In fact, you’ll be told that there is no record of your license. Very frustrating. Now that you know, remember---

To renew online

You must do so in the month that your license expires.
