## Messages to send Mindie
- With an early heads-up: "Remind me before my real estate license is due for renewal on March 31 2027"
- Every two years: "Every 2 years on January 15 at 10am remind me to renew my nursing license"
- Paperwork first: "Remind me on February 1 at 9am to check what documents the board needs for my license renewal"

A license renewal reminder on WhatsApp is a message well before your professional license expires, then another on the deadline. With Mindie you set it in one line: "remind me before my real estate license is due for renewal on March 31 2027". You get an early heads-up and a reminder on the day.

Licenses renew every one to three years, which is long enough to forget completely. The board's notice can land in a spam folder or at an old address, and working with a lapsed license can mean fines or time off the job.

## When to be reminded

- **Two to three months before,** if renewal needs course hours or documents.
- **Four to six weeks before,** to file and pay with time for processing.
- **On the expiry date,** as a final check that it went through.

## Why renewals lapse

- **The gap is too long.** A two-year cycle is easy to lose track of.
- **Notices go astray.** Email changes and moves mean the reminder never reaches you.
- **The requirements take time.** Continuing education hours can't be done the night before.

## Habits that help

- **Set the next renewal the day you renew.** It takes one message while the date is in front of you.
- **Save the details as a note.** License number, board website and fee in one place.
- **Track the requirements.** Keep a list of courses or hours still needed and add to it as you go.

## How Mindie handles it

1. **Send the license and the expiry date,** or a screenshot of the renewal notice.
2. **Mindie confirms** the heads-up and the deadline reminder.
3. **It messages you** at each point, in your timezone.

Reply "done" once you've renewed. If you hold more than one license, set one reminder for each and ask "what renewals are coming up?" any time.

## What Mindie doesn't do

- **It doesn't renew, file or pay.** The application is yours to submit.
- **It doesn't contact your licensing board** or check your license status.
- **It isn't legal or compliance advice.** Check your board's rules for what renewal requires.

## FAQ

### How early will Mindie remind me?
Ask Mindie to remind you before it's due and it sends an early heads-up plus a reminder on the day. You can also set your own date, like six weeks before.

### Can Mindie renew my license for me?
No. Mindie reminds you; it doesn't file forms, pay fees or contact your licensing board.

### Can I keep my license number in Mindie?
Yes. Save it as a note and ask for it when you fill in the renewal form.

### Can I set more than one reminder?
Yes. Set one for when renewal opens and another a few weeks before expiry. Your licensing board sets the actual dates.

### Can I keep a list of what the renewal requires?
Yes. Save the requirements as a list and tick them off in the chat as you finish each one.
