HMS license

[vettnman]

I know where to get and al that. My question is how long does it take to receive it. I'm still waiting on my #%&^$$^ NC registration. Not quite sure what the holdup is on that. I can currently fish for wahoo, and dolphin with the SC registration, but I can't apply for the HMS permit until I get my NC registration. Any ideas on what to expect. Thx...David

you will print it right off the computer and can use it immediately.

And you can keep printing it out every time it gets soaked due to having a boat that rides wet as heck (like me).

Sweet, thx a lot guys. So, I can wait til the last minute to print it out? fantastic

Indeed. Last summer we made the last minute decision to take a friends boat offshore instead of mine (last minute as in we were backing up to my boat, saw something wrong and backed up to his instead, at 3am the day of the trip) and we just went in and ordered one for his boat right then...

Just checked mine from last year, thinking it was time to renew. I got it in the spring but it shows an expiration date of Dec. 31, 2008.. Others have the same?

[Prodigal Son]

It was because of the switch to a December renewal date, so they didn't screw you out of a half a year it just expired Dec 2008 regardless of when you bought it in 2007...

Just pint a couple of copies and go to Office Depot or simular store and laminate them, then attach it to the inside lid of your electronics box also your registration.
