If a license renewal application is received more than 30 days after the expiration date, how will it be treated?

When a license renewal application is received more than 30 days after the expiration date, it is treated as a new application. This policy is in place to ensure that all necessary requirements and qualifications are re-evaluated when significant time has elapsed since the license was last active. After a lapse of over 30 days, the applicant has essentially missed the renewal window and must go through the full application process again. This may involve submitting new documentation, paying the appropriate fees, and potentially undergoing any required training or testing that ensures compliance with current regulations and standards. This process is designed to maintain the integrity and oversight of licensing, ensuring that dealers are up to date with current practices and legal obligations in the industry.
