Waiting for Your ID Card
Now that you’ve applied and paid your fees, the DHSS/DCR has 30 days to approve or deny an application. Your identification card is valid for three (3) years and you must renew your card before it expires by at least 30-59 days prior with an updated physician certification and updated application. So mark your calendar. You don’t want to have a time gap while you wait for your new card.
