Licenses are issued for a four-year period and should be renewed prior to
the expiration date listed on the license. As a reminder, the DRE
will mail a renewal form to the licensee's mailing address of record
approximately 90 days prior to the license expiration date. The form
is sent as a courtesy only and non- receipt of the form does not relieve
the licensee from the responsibilityof renewing the
license.
