If a person's license has expired for 90 days or less, what is the fee for renewal?

When a person's license has expired for 90 days or less, the fee for renewal is set to be 1-1/2 times the normally required renewal fee. This policy is designed to encourage timely renewals while still providing a penalty for those who allow their licenses to lapse.

Several factors play into this decision. Firstly, it acknowledges that a lapse of less than three months is relatively minor and offers a more manageable fee increase compared to longer lapsed periods. Such a structure discourages procrastination without overly penalizing individuals who may have simply forgotten to renew their licenses.

In this context, the other renewal fee options—normal, twice, or three times the required fee—would represent progressively harsher penalties for a relatively short lapse. This would not align with the goal of promoting compliance while still holding individuals accountable.
