My LTC will expire in 6 months. Should I be getting a renewal notice in the mail or do I need to contact DPS to renew it?

You should get a renewal notice, but if you're within 180 days you can complete the renewal online right away.

If for some reason you get within 3 months of expiration without getting your notice then take charge and contact them directly to start the process.

Renewal seems very fast too. Had my LTC in 3 weeks. I did get a renewal notice in the mail but if you check the website you can do it all there. Added veteran status to mine on internet. To get it added to my DL I had to physically go to DL center.

Applied for renewal online as soon as I hit the 6 month mark (January 19). So, we'll see how fast they are these days!

Does DPS keep your DD214 on file from your original application? Do I need to resubmit my DD214 with my renewal?

I believe they do. I have never been ask to provide a copy since the 1st CHL.

Thanks. I'll stop asking the question in other threads. :) I guess if they need it they'll let me know? I have 6 months before mine expires.

I got my renewal too in the mail, this is my 3 renewal, its my understanding I don't have to go to any class, but what about finger prints?

Thanks

If they need anything from you, which they didn't for me on my second renewal, then they will contact you for it. They will attempt to use an existing photo they have and the existing fingerprints you have on file.
