short version of my question: have I "applied for renewal" by requesting an appointment or is my renewal not initiated until my appointment?
more info:
1 My town requires an appointment to be scheduled for renewal. At the appointment the applicant arrives with all of their renewal application materials.
2 Before my expiration I requested an appointment.
3 The appointment will however be after my expiration.
4 Massachusetts provides that "if the holder applies for renewal prior to the expiration of the FID card or LTC- the card shall remain valid after the expiration date on the card for all lawful purposes until the application for renewal is approved or denied"
So the question: is the request for an appointment enough to qualify as applying for renewal?
Logically I've taken the first step in my town's renewal process but I'm hoping for a little more than that to stand on.
thanks - I searched renewals a few times and couldn't find anything on this.
