Is it time to mention Licence renewals?

[R59]

Dare I mention licence renewals this early?

I had my first stress ecg earlier this year (June) followed by having my "bumps felt" by the Daktari in August for a late renewal.

When the renewal dropped on the mat, a few days passed then I had a love letter from Slough to tell me that my Stress ECG was valid until June 2013, and my medical was valid until Aug 2012.

So, does that mean I can just apply online? The paperwork doesn't make it clear?

Had mine through last week,then a letter telling me to hurry up and renew so that my SR was still valid, seem/s that they now 'go along'with the three year thing.Not impressed by the fee increase for my Int License though and no explanation as to why there is a forty odd quid increase!Oh,dont do a three day application either!Price increase's such as these usually point at one thing.

Rob, send the form in and leave the medical section that a doctor would sign blank if you can't do it online.
Terry, I thought the int. C had gone up around 15 quid, I'm sure I paid 169 last year. Not sure whether to bother with the extra 90 pounds over the Nat. A as I never use it.

So does it mean that if my Stress ECG was dated March 2010, and I renew my licence now ( ie comfortably before March 2012) then I am Ok and don't need to do another?
I have just read the small print in the notes to the renewal form just received - in section 11.1.2 it says "A Stress ECG will be valid for two years and will need to be subsequently undertaken in respect of the licence application in the third year"

This is what I was wondering, mine's dated Jan 20th 2010.

Then both of you need to get them done asap.

I'll get my medical done before the middle of January and send it off without an ecg and see what happens, that's if I am feeling flush enough for the International licence.

Good man

Any news RE the car front Tim?

[kart_racer]

Got mine through last week aswell.

I think Id rather apply online also.

If I do not require a medical surely I do not need to fill in the doctor section as they already have my doctors details.

No, lack of space has put an end to that idea for the time being

I managed to do my licence renewal online this year, done and dusted and on the doormat within 5 days. Shockingly competent (I just wish they'd sort the MSA website out - at best it's crap.)

Well I did it all online, painless (other than the cost!), licence on the mat 3 days later!! Well done MSA. Now get that website sorted and sell the sport. Sell Sell Sell!
