Trying to renew a long expired license

[Guest Art]

I just tried to renew my gmrs license, (it had expired quite a while ago) now today I see the application was dismissed although I paid the fees requested , asked for a waiver filled out what was asked of me..... does anyone have a suggestion on what I can do to correct all this, I highly doubt I could get my money back

Thanks!

Call FCC on the phone, they are pretty good to work with.  Best to just apply for a new license, you will not be able to get the old call sign issued to you. (been there done that when I forgot to renew mine a few years back!)

Yeah, I had a GMRS callsign 12 years back which i let expire... and in the past year decided to give it another try. I looked into trying to resurrect my old callsign (although I was not really attached to it) but found it easier to just register for a new one on my existing FRN. 

not sure how you go about getting your $35 refunded though... hope you can.

if after 360 some odd days, i think it would be easier and faster to apply for a new license.

Awhile back, when renewing my license I ran into a issue where somehow my old Gmrs license had a different FRN number, resulting in 3 FRN numbers. The new one I applied for, plus the FRN for my ham license. I Called CORES, and they removed the third FRN and got me all set again. Easy Peasy!

Here's the number directly to CORES: 1-877-480-3201
