HELP RENEWAL LICENSE

[doctor]

HI;

I tried or attempted to renew my license..expired 2014. Anyhow I brought it up for renewal and filled out the new address etc. Now on summary and all is correct. It says  press continue and here is what I get

 

This call sign has expired. To file a renewal, a waiver request is required. Answer the waiver questions and attachment question accordingly.

This license is no longer active. To submit this application please provide a waiver attachment.

Please try again

 

It says a waiver request is not used for this application. How do I move on...

DOCTOR

OK GUYS THANKS FOR THE HELP.

I believe your right after a few years, you have to apply again.

They do have a RO to renew, but on the last part continue it won't take,a stumbling block.

 

Anyhow I as one suggested  applied for a new license and it was smooth sailing.

 

THANKS TO ALL

DOCTOR

Not sure if there is a mechanism for renewal of an expired GMRS license. After mine expired I applied for new license, new callsign. Perhaps someone else will have additional insight.

I had someone here in town look into renewing their expired license but the waiver fee was hundreds of dollars; I'd call it a loss and just apply for a new one.

I don't know if GMRS licenses are handled the same, but with amateur radio you can renew an existing license up to 2 years after it expires.  Beyond 2 years, the call sign is permanently gone and one would have to start over including taking the test(s) for the level desired.  

 

If GMRS is the same with the 2-year window, you are still way beyond that.

The waiver note is bogus. Mention of a waiver is an error in the FCC renewal system for GMRS licenses, because waivers are summarily denied. Did the waiver 3 or 4 months after my GMRS license expired. Spent over $200, and the petition was denied. At the end of the denial explanation, the FCC told me to just buy a new license.  This should be what is displayed for an expired FCC GMRS license, not "you can submit a waiver".

So over $270 later, I had a new GMRS license and callsign. Don't do the waiver process. Complete waste of money... just apply for and get a new license/callsign.
