* Licensees can submit renewal applications up to 90 days before the license expiration date, but renewals are processed
in date received order. Renewal documents and fees must be postmarked no later than midnight of the four-year license
expiration date to be considered on-time. If all renewal requirements are properly submitted, Section 10156.2 of the
Business and Professions Code allows for continued operations under the existing license after its expiration date
unless notified otherwise by DRE.
