GC 411.183 (a) A license issued under this subchapter expires on the first birthday of the license holder occurring after the fourth anniversary of the date of issuance.

(b) A renewal license expires on the license holder's birthdate, five years after the date of the expiration of the previous license.

So the term of license would be at least 4 years on a new license but can be as long as 5 yr minus 1 day, if the issue date just misses your BD. I would say you did pretty well with an extra 10.5 months.

If mine is issued today, I would get 4 yrs and 1 week, and not quite make the senior discount in 5 yrs. I am not going to bug Waldene again until next Tuesday!

I have hit the stage in my life where I hope they will take a few days longer to issue. (Day 85 and still "Processing Application")

My birthday is next week and if the issue date is after that, then I get an extra full year.
