Common question. This report tends to be the most accurate estimate. 26 days seems to be the average, but latest measure is from Feb. > **[performance\_2022.pdf](https://www.dco.uscg.mil/Portals/9/NMC/pdfs/reports/performance/2022/performance_2022.pdf)** > > 37.32 KB ---

I submitted a renewal in Feb, it was 4-5 weeks with no hold-ups or requests for more info. Med Cert was a little over 1 week. ---

Yes, from the day I emailed it to the rec to the day it was printed. Perfectly straightforward renewal, no additional information required. ---

It’s now May and performance stats still aren’t available for March. If you look at the trend and assume it follows that trajectory (or worse), the processing times are going to get longer and longer. My application has been waiting to be assigined a qualified examiner since the first week of April and still no movement. Starting the 5th week with that status. This is the last stop and I understand it will only take a few hours if they don’t find any reason to delay once it reaches an examiner. Hope it pops soon! ---

Sent application to REC 2/25/22 REC did not acknowledge receipt of application till 3/11/22 By 3/18/22 I was forwarded to the NMC, processed through medical, and awaiting professional qualifications evaluation. No change in status so sent an email on 4/21/22 asking what was up. 4/22/22 changed to being evaluated PQEB, hit a small snag on needing some more information. Requested information sent via email last Friday, 4/29/22 License renewal approved to print today, 5/4/22. Just shy of 10 weeks total from first submission to the REC to approval to print. ---

If straight renewal only, submit eight months early. NMC will process and issue renewal with post date for day after current MMC expires. No stress, no lost time. If you are missing something, plenty of time to fix. Straight renewal only, no raise of grade or new endorsement. ---

Good to know! I’ll be starting my renewal now. Was was really hoping they’d have replaced that dreadful Denny’s placemat of an MMC with the booklet by now, or (heaven forbid) just the old style license again. Better luck in 2030, I suppose.
