I wonder if I should get my med cert renewed around this time since it comes up in July. But they don't automatically send it to the state, you have to right?
Well that double post was bizarre.
At any rate - most states allow for a "30 day grace" period to get your docs in.
But keep in mind - YOU CANNOT LEGALLY OPERATE A CMV ON AN EXPIRED MEDICAL CARD.
Unless you see no "convenient opportunity" to renew between now and July - by all means go now. Otherwise - you have plenty of time to take care of this. I'd plan on the middle/end of June. Especially of your company has their own (in house) Medical Examiner.
