You are wasting your application fee if you do it anyway. They'll deny the renewal as invalid ($70), and then you are still stuck with going through the process as a new applicant ($140).Tikibloke wrote:No grace period after Sept 1st, 2013?? When/where was this announced? I was about to mail my renewal in tomorrow, expired in July. I will do it anyway and see what happens.
Remember that there are no fee refunds on denied applications.
