Check those dates on your CPL renewals

[detroit_fan]

Went to pick up my renewal today, and even though it was supposed to become active on my birthday and expire 5 years later, they had the issuance date as a month ago and expiration date was only a little over 4 years later. Clerk was able to change it before laminating (yes we have to pay $3 at the clerk in Monroe County if we want our cheap paper CPL laminated by them)

So when picking up your renewal, make sure you're getting your full 5 years

Wayne county had both my wife's and my expiration dates screwed up.  I had to count on my fingers for them to get the expiration correct.  How hard can this be?

I have over 4 more years before I renew, hopefully I remember yo check it all out too.

Your next birthday + 4 years, pretty tough.

In the case of a renewal, your new license isn't effective until the day after your old license expires -- giving you a full 5 years.
