Late Fee Dates

All licenses expire, and six government agencies add late fees to all unpaid license renewals on a certain date.

You may see those late fees reflected on your GRS invoice ahead of the government agency’s actual expiration date. This is to allow our Documentation Team team time to physically mail your payment and paperwork, so it arrives on time and your licenses do not lapse. To avoid late fees, please make your payment to GRS at least 2 weeks before your license’s renewal date. If you pay by wire transfer or check, please let us know to expect payment by emailing us at LM@globalrsinc.com.

PLEASE NOTE: Payment for late fees is due BEFORE the late fee dates listed below. If you submit payment on the late fee date, you will be charged a late fee.

Below you will find each government agency’s renewal dates, as well as the dates on which GRS may add late fees to your invoice.

To allow our team ample time to arrange payments, GRS will now add late fees to invoices 1-2 weeks earlier than we did in 2023. 

To ensure GRS customers enrolled in License Management have the same amount of time to pay, the Monitored Services team will now generate state renewal invoices two weeks earlier than in 2023.
