doctor Posted January 8, 2021 Report Share Posted January 8, 2021 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 Answer the waiver questions and attachment question accordingly.This license is no longer active.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 ALLDOCTOR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbrun Posted January 8, 2021 Report Share Posted January 8, 2021 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. MichaelWRHS965KE8PLM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeepCrawler98 Posted January 8, 2021 Report Share Posted January 8, 2021 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. rdunajewski 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jc1240 Posted January 9, 2021 Report Share Posted January 9, 2021 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ljh505 Posted January 10, 2021 Report Share Posted January 10, 2021 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
