C&R renewal due!!!!!!

[steelrain82]

So i get home today and I am going throught the mail and i see my c&r renewal paperwork. it says it needs to be renewed by Sept 1. I just got it today and i just paid off my school fees and books so i am broke and dont get paid till monday! will i have to start the app process all over? i havent used it for anything yet, but i really dont want to have to start it all over and i dont want to have to use my cc.

Maybe give the ATF Licensing Center a call in the morning? (866) 662-2750

So am I understanding this right that you just received the renewal form and your license expires on the 1st?

Something dont sound right, they are required to send your renewal notice so that you have time to fill it out and pay before your current license expires.

[steelrain82]

Yes, I got my license renewal paper work today. I was like WTF!! And yes, it due on the first. And my car registration is suppossed to be paid in sept as well. And guess what? I haven't got that yet either! Either the post office is screwing **** up or people are asleep behind the wheel at these agencies.

Call them an explain - they might extend the date.

The renewal form usually comes a few months before the actual date.

Or do what I did last time, mail it in with a check dated a few days previous the expiration date. Oops! I must have made a little mistake and dated everything wrong. Just be sure to date the form the same.

By the time it gets there you'd better have the $30 in the bank! Or I'm going to get mine first and buy that K31 you've been looking at!

Call and explain. Request a "Letter or Authorization". The letter will extend your current license for 6 months while they process your renewal.

You could do all that, have the fun of calling a government agency and trust that they'll handle things right *this* time, or just bust out the credit card. I know which I'd do.

Good advice on requesting an extension, who knew?!?

I just renewed my yearly one, the something certification so you can buy more than one pistol a month. To their credit they actually sent me the renewal a month or two ahead of expiration.

No such thing as a post dated check in today's banking system. They'll process it; and the money better be there. And Blitzburgh suggests perjury of the renewal form by falsifying the date on the form! WOW. The have computers in Leavenworth?

That's called a COE. You can be up to 12 months late on renewing a COE before they make you start from scratch.

OP -- just send in the renewal when you have the money. They'll process it; and you may have a small lapse in your license -- just don't make any A&D's in the interim. And, don't falsify the dates.

Yep... I'm expecting a knock on the door at any moment. The Feds have nothing better to do these days

Do you know what a post dated check is? Doesn't sound like it.
Do you really think they will go after him for perjury? LOL

and do you think anyone looks at dates on checks? It's converted to an ACH and the account is debited. ISF = bounce.

No, they won't go after him for perjury -- now, you -- in a heartbeat!
