When should an application for renewal of an FQ Card be submitted?

• A. After Expiration.
• B. Within 60 Days Before Expiration.
• C. On Expiration Date.
• D. Any Time During The License Term.

Answer: (B)

Renewals must be submitted in a specific window before the expiration date so the credential remains valid without gaps while processing occurs. Submitting within the 60 days prior to expiration provides enough time for the renewal to be reviewed and issued before the current term ends. If you wait until after expiration, the credential is no longer active while the renewal is being processed, which can leave you unlicensed. Renewing exactly on the expiration date is generally not permitted, since the current term ends at that date. Renewing at any time during the license term would either cause an overlap of terms or isn't allowed by the renewal window rules. Therefore, the only correct timing is within 60 days before expiration.
